We know you’re so excited to go on some autumn nature walks with your dog, but for this #FallSafetyTip, make sure you watch out for snakes, some of which can be venomous! They’re preparing for hibernation and may be a little crankier if disturbed by a curious pet! 🐍
When walking or hiking, if something happens to your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. #VCApets
Today is Global Cat Day, a special occasion devoted to unowned, free-roaming “community” cats. These cats often get a bad rap but it’s important to understand that these cats aren’t so different from our beloved pets. As a matter of fact, many are living on the streets as a result of being abandoned by their families.
We've included some tips to help manage and care for the community cats in your neighborhood.
Helping these cats starts by being a responsible guardian! Spay/neuter your own cat and keep them indoors.
* In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a staggering total of 420,000 kittens! #VCApets
CareClub Safety Tip: Cats often handle their own grooming, but sometimes hairballs can become a nuisance for them. Regular brushings can help them stay healthy and get back to playtime faster. Show us how your cat plays below! To learn more about CareClub's personalized care plans, give us a call.
So, what’s it going to be? Six more weeks of winter or an early spring 🌷? This Groundhog Day, we eagerly await the prediction of the adorable Punxsutawney Phil 💓.

Due to the inclement weather, our hospital will be closing early today.

Is it really safe to give your dog meat bones?
Like most families, Oliver’s family always thought so… until he ate an entire hambone after a holiday dinner and experienced a life-threatening digestive blockage. Thanks to the VCA RIVER team, Oliver went home happy, healthy, and with a new appetite for life.
