It's time to lighten up the week with a friday funny!! #vcacares #fridayfunnies
COVID-19 has impacted pet owners in more ways than ever imagined. In response, VCA Charities, in partnership with VCA Animal Hospitals, continues to find ways to increase its impact and enable access to veterinary care.
Through recent grants to shelter partners as well as the new VCA Charities HOPE Funds programs, vulnerable pets are receiving care and pet owners are finding hope. Pets like Stella, who experienced labor complications, and whose owner recently found themselves unemployed, received life-saving care and support for her five puppies.
To show our commitment to #vcacharities, VCA will be matching client donations, dollar-for-dollar up to $300,000, now through December 31, 2020. Join us in supporting pets like Stella, by making a donation when you visit a VCA hospital, online at vcacharities.org or text HOPE to 213-325-1919. #vcacares #abetterworldforpets #proudlymars

Happy Thanksgiving from your VCA Newman - Daytona Family
Reunited! What a great way to begin the holiday season by being reunited with family! Wutang got out of his fence at home and the person who found him brought him here just hours after the Owners brought in a lost dog flyer for him.
Keep the feast on the table this Thanksgiving! While it may be tempting to share your delicious food with your pet, fatty foods like turkey skin or buttered vegetables can lead to serious health problems. 🦃#vcapets
