It's #ShepherdSunday!
Here are Rie and Spitfire enjoying some playtime in day care.
It's finally FriYAY!
Happy October 1st from VCA Durant Road!
They’re invisible, aggressive, and highly contagious. Worse yet, they’re constantly reproducing – making them impossible to eliminate without medical treatment.
They’re ear mites, and they’ll make your dog absolutely miserable. Dr. Michele Pietrzak of VCA Met Vet West Animal Hospital confronts the mite menace in today’s Daily Paws. #vcapets

We can't wait to see all the costumes your furbabies will wear this year!
It’s almost #Halloween, so this #FallSafetyTip is all about pumpkins 🎃! Although plain, baked pumpkin can have nutritional benefits for your dog, the stem, skin, pulp and raw seeds are all dangerous for them to eat. When in doubt, stick to dog food or contact your veterinarian. #VCApets
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
October 15 is National Pug Day!

Sorry cats and dogs, we’re not looking for your shadow! Today we’re celebrating another furry little creature—because it’s Groundhog Day! Do you think we’ll have a longer winter this year? #vcapets
Imagine if local authorities showed up at your home with dozens of Great Dane puppies and asked you to take care of them until further notice.
It happened at VCA CAVES in Concord, NH!
