Meet Howard. Howard is an adorable 10 week old kitten. He came into the clinic with an injury to his face and required surgery on his chin. He is fully healed now and ready to be adopted into his furever family.
We are monitoring all of the fires across Northern California and hope everyone is staying safe. If you have been evacuated due to a fire and need assistance with boarding your pet, VCA Animal Hospitals in Northern California are offering free boarding. However, due to Covid 19, capacity may be limited and some hospitals may not be able to take in as many boarders as they would like. If you are in need, please call the specific location ahead of time to inquire about availability. Thank you.
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.

Sunny days bring smiles to our faces! Here are some important safety tips for your pets during this warm weather: 1) Walking in the early morning or evening can help keep your dog’s paws safe from hot surfaces, 2) leave pets at home while running errands, as parked cars get hot extremely fast, even with the windows down and 3) water is a pet’s best friend, so make sure your pet always has access to clean water indoors or in the shade outside.
Happy Fourth! We hope you have a blast with friends, family and pets (even virtually!) Just remember to protect pets by staying indoors if there are fireworks nearby! Learn more about holiday safety tips here: bit.ly/3i9vnpg #VCApets

Did you know that dogs and humans share the same two stages of sleeping brain wave patterns? That means your dog may have dreams, which makes us wonder what they’re dreaming of! Learn more here: https://bit.ly/2ZRw5Q5 #vcapets
Little dogs = big(ger) dreams! Did you know the length of a dream can depend on the dog’s size? Smaller breeds have more dreams, but the dreams can be shorter in length.

Cats love to sleep, and even young, healthy cats sleep for two-thirds of the day. Although extensive sleep is a trait inherited from their hunting ancestors, nowadays cats are mostly only hunting for the next place to nap!
