GLOBAL FAST; Point of care ultrasound training allows identification of life-threatening diseases requiring immediate treatment! Continuing education means excellence in care! Thank you do Dr. Scott Shaw and Dr. Joyce Wagner and our four-legged friends for this great day!
It’s National Dog Week! Although every dog is an all-star in our books, we’re shining the spotlight on 5 unique breeds—all adorable and all special in their own ways! Do we see a tail wag? #vcapets 🐶
Our favorite thing about the Finnish Spitz? It looks like a fox with its reddish orange fluffy body and bushy tail! However, this adorable dog isn’t just a cute face—it’s a hardworking, agile breed who’s known for its brisk movements.

VCA Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center in partnership with the WALTHAM™ Centre of Pet Nutrition ( @walthamscience ) is seeking dogs that have either pancreatitis or chronic enteropathy (intestinal disease) to participate in the WALTHAM™ Biobank Project.
The purpose of this project is to establish a collection of pet information and biological samples that can be analyzed to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these illnesses. This study includes a simple blood and fecal sample collection along with a physical examination, all procedures are at no cost to you.
If you think your dog may qualify for this study please contact our team at (203) 854-9960.
Chronic enteropathy, also known as intestinal disease, is often associated with persistent signs of diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss or decreased appetite. If your dog has any of these symptoms please contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Today doesn’t just mark the first day of August, it’s also the start of Dogust, the Universal Birthday for Shelter Dogs! This wholesome holiday marks an honorary birthday for adopted shelter dogs, as their exact ones are often unknown.

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
A cute pup with a cute name: Meet Bagel! She is an 8 month old silver lab and her pDVM found a heart murmur and referred her to our cardiologist Dr. Cusack. Here she is with our cardiology assistant Brooke.
