At Dr. Jamal Toler’s Deshon Animal Hospital and Laser Surgery, we know pet owners struggle with finding high-quality veterinary services as well as affording the care. Our Lithonia, GA veterinary practice is dedicated to caring for animals and making their care accessible to pet owners. Deshon Animal Hospital and Laser Surgery offers a variety of affordable pet care services, including spaying and neutering, vaccinations, dental treatment, laser surgery, microchipping, and even grooming and boarding! There is a lot involved in caring for your pet, and there can be a lot of costs as well. Our Well Pet Plans encourage you to keep up with regular, preventative care.
Well Pet Plans are not insurance coverage. The purpose of these plans is to provide your pet with a regular, comprehensive care plan and keep your responsibility to one low monthly payment. This isn’t just about saving money—regular care helps pet owners keep their animals well to avoid more complex health issues (which will end up costing more for care). A Well Pet Plan includes preventative care while providing special discounts, reduced rates and interest free payments. We love to see our continued care lead to many healthy and happy years with the pet your family knows and loves!
Deshon Animal Hospital and Laser Surgery provides pet owners peace of mind through excellence in pet care, while offering manageable monthly payments through Well Pet Plans. Dr. Jamal Toler, DVM, runs Deshon Animal Hospital and Laser Surgery at 884 South Deshon Road, Lithonia, Georgia, 30058. To schedule an appointment, call 770-482-7816 or visit DeshonAnimal.com and fill out a contact form.

Keeping Your Pet Safe with Vaccinations
Just as you protect yourself and your children from illness with vaccinations, you should also protect your family pets as well. Although you are probably aware that pets need to be vaccinated against rabies, distemper and other common diseases, you may not be aware that there are other vaccinations available for your pet.
Canine Influenza
One pet vaccination that can protect your dog is the canine influenza vaccine, which is much like the flu shot humans get before flu season starts. Canine influenza is caused by a specific type of virus known to infect dogs. Humans cannot give the virus to dogs nor can dogs give the virus to humans, but it can be spread between dogs. A dog with canine influenza may have a runny nose, cough and fever, but may display no symptoms at all. However, the virus can lead to pneumonia and death if not treated. To protect your dog from the illness, Dr. Jamal Toler, DVM, of Deshon Animal Hospital and Laser Surgery, recommends having your dog vaccinated against the illness.
Feline Leukemia Virus
Feline leukemia is a retrovirus that is spread through the body fluids of cats infected with the virus. The virus is more prevalent in cats that remain or go outside where they may come in contact with an infected cat. Kittens are more susceptible to the virus than adults. The disease is the most common cause of cancer in cats and can lead to blood disorders or immune deficiencies. Cats who spend time outdoors should be vaccinated as should indoor cats, although they are not as at risk as those that go outside.
In addition to these important vaccinations, Dr. Toler recommends other vaccinations designed to keep your pet healthy. In order to learn what vaccinations your pet may need, contact Deshon Animal Hospital and Laser Surgery at 770-482-7816.www.deshonanimal.com

Deshon Animal Hospital Stresses the Importance of Wellness and Physical Examinations Every Six Months
Unlike people, animals cannot alert us when they need medical attention. This is why it’s important to schedule a wellness examination at Deshon Animal Hospital every six months. A wellness examination is a routine medical examination of a pet that is apparently healthy, as opposed to an examination of a pet that is ill. During a routine wellness examination, Dr. Jamal O. Toler, DVM will ask you questions about your animal’s diet, exercise, thirst, breathing, behavior, habits, etc. He will also perform a physical examination. Your pet is a member of your family and when you visit our office they become a member of ours.
Many pets are masters at hiding health problems, especially felines. Because our animal friends tend to hide them, visiting Deshon Animal Hospital on a regular basis will help pick up on these problems, sometimes preventing them from worsening and becoming serious. Regardless of age, these visits help to detect and monitor diseases and can detect problems early when they are the easiest to treat.
Going to the vet is an important part of your pet’s life. Therefore, you should not only visit the vet just because your pet becomes ill. Your pet’s longevity depends on routine checkups. An exam lets us check your pet’s health status, and talk to you about how his or her care might need to change in the road ahead.
If you are concerned that your furry friend may need a physical examination, don’t wait any longer and give us a call. For questions or to schedule an appointment for your pet, call 770-482-7816 or visit the Deshon Animal Hospital website, www.deshonanimal.com.
