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.
If your veterinarian recommends a product at the end of a visit, it鈥檚 because it鈥檚 necessary to keep your pet healthy! Whether it鈥檚 parasite prevention medicine or special-diet food, the care you provide between visits is important, too.
Your pet鈥檚 treatment doesn鈥檛 end in the examination room! 馃惐馃惗

Meet Jesse, our Surgery Patient of the Week! 鉂わ笍
Jesse is a handsome 7 year old cockapoo that visited his primary veterinarian, Dr. Salvatore at Home Veterinary Services, after an injury at home. He was painful and limping on his hind leg, and after examination, it was determined that Jesse luxated his hip.
He was transferred to VCA Shoreline for further diagnostics and surgery. Jesse had an FHO procedure (Femoral Head Ostectomy).
As part of his recovery, he is going to physical therapy at Pawz for Wellness!
Jesse was in for a 2-week post op recheck and Dr. Acquaviva and Dr. Duffy are very pleased with his progress.
Jesse is the sweetest dog - always happy and easy going. He is a rock star patient! 馃ぉ

It's that time of year again! While rock salt is useful for humans, it can irritate your dog鈥檚 paws. Invest in some booties or stay clear from areas that are heavily salted on your next winter walk. Make sure to wipe your dog's paws after every walk/trip outside.
Happy Tongue Out Tuesday! 馃槤
