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
Our friends at Hill’s donated 10 pounds of pet food to local shelter pets with each new subscription that was made in our VCA hospitals. Because of this generosity over 4,000lbs of their Science Diet food will be distributed in our local community to homeless and low income families with pets. We are honored to be partnered with Hills and to help families in need feed their furry loved ones. ❤️😍 #VCACharities #Hills #ABetterWorldForPets #helplocal
