VCA Bascom Animal Hospital updated their business hours.
We are monitoring all of the fires across Northern California and hope everyone is staying safe. If you have been evacuated due to a fire and need assistance with boarding your pet, VCA Animal Hospitals in Northern California are offering free boarding. However, due to Covid 19, capacity may be limited and some hospitals may not be able to take in as many boarders as they would like. If you are in need, please call the specific location ahead of time to inquire about availability. Thank you.
Today doesn’t just mark the first day of August, it’s also the start of Dogust, the Universal Birthday for Shelter Dogs! This wholesome holiday marks an honorary birthday for adopted shelter dogs, as their exact ones are often unknown.
