If you’re planning on having a backyard BBQ, remember to keep your dog’s safety in mind! Keep them away from the hot grill and the hot sun—bring them inside or set them up in the shade if they begin to pant excessively ☀️. Make sure they stay hydrated too 💦#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
Is your cat more trick or treat? 😸#VCApets

Although your holiday season may be a bit different this year, decorating your house for Thanksgiving is always a fun tradition! But remember that certain decorative plants, like amaryllis or Baby’s Breath, can be toxic for pets, so keep them out of reach! 🦃💐#vcapets

If there’s one thing that’s sure about cats—they make their feelings known (but mostly heard)! We all know they purr when they’re happy, but did you know they also do this when they’re uncomfortable or not feeling well? So, if your cat is purring excessively around other cats and seems upset, it might be time to separate them. 🐈#vcapets
