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

As the cold weather continues, it may be tempting to give your pet some extra food to bulk them up. However, extra weight has adverse health effects, such as diabetes, and isn’t worth the additional heat it may bring. To keep your pet safe this winter, continue feeding them a healthy, nutritious diet to maintain their regular weight.
We wish you a merry Christmas, full of love, treats and extra snuggles!
How are you and your pet celebrating the day?
February is the month of love, and with this comes many chocolate gifts 🎁! However, a friendly reminder that when it comes to showing love for your pets, snuggles are always better than chocolate, which can be harmful if ingested.

In addition to two nutrient profiles (for growing and adult pups), nutrients vary between dry and canned foods, so it’s important to understand how ingredients are used in your pet’s favorite brands.
