Love Is Blind season 8 meets Dog Day Out... and we're ready to say, "I do!"

Thanks to VCA Charities' amazing partners at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control, in collaboration with their Dog Day Out initiative, we are grateful for the success of the Fido Field Trip Program! Back in the Spring, the shelter dogs got their own “Love is Blind” adventure when the fabulous ladies of Season 8 joined the fun, taking some shelter pups out for unforgettable field trips filled with smiles.

Did you know that research shows that dogs who experience a single day outside the shelter are 10x more likely to be adopted?! These outings give shelter dogs a break from the kennel, which reduces stress while increasing community volunteerism.

Want to learn more about our Dog Day Out program or take a dog on a field trip with a local shelter? Visit !

🐾 September is National Service Dog Month! 🐾

Service dogs are more than just loyal companions—they’re highly trained partners who empower people with disabilities to live more independent, fulfilling lives.

From guiding individuals with vision impairments, alerting to medical conditions like seizures or changes in blood sugar, assisting with mobility, retrieving dropped items, providing psychiatric support, and even reminding their handlers to take medications—these amazing dogs do it all.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate and thank these incredible four-legged heroes and the life-changing work they do every day. ❤️🐕

🐾🌍 Today is World Rabies Day! 🌍🐾

Rabies is an incurable and deadly zoonotic disease — meaning it can spread between animals and people. The good news? It’s 100% preventable through vaccination.

Keeping your pets up-to-date on their rabies vaccines protects them, you, and our entire community. 🐶🐱💉

If your pet is due for their rabies vaccine, schedule an appointment today to keep everyone safe. Together, we can help eliminate this preventable disease. 💙

😸💭 “How itchy is too itchy?”

It’s normal for cats to groom themselves — but excessive scratching, licking, or chewing could be a sign of something more serious, like allergies, parasites, or skin infections. 🐾

If your kitty seems itchier than usual, it’s always worth a check-up. Early detection can make a big difference in their comfort and health! 💙

Call us to schedule an exam, or book online using the myVCA app, and keep your feline friend feeling their best. 🐱✨
