Due to #COVID19, we’re all living in uncertain times. VCA Animal Hospitals is here to help with some tips on how to practice pet wellness as you adjust to the #NewNormal.
Self-isolation is important to reduce the risk of spreading #COVID19, but dogs still need exercise and daily walks. Remember to keep 6 feet away from other people and pets while outside.
To be extra careful, avoid crowded areas like dog parks, try not to pet other dogs (as cute as they may be!), make sure to clean up any 💩, and wash your hands when you get home. #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
