Scooting can be a way that dogs communicate to us that they need some extra care! Regular 💩 testing helps you and your veterinarian know what's going on inside our 4-legged friends. Find your local VCA at the link in bio!

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.

🎄🐾 Holiday Safety Tips for Your Furry Friends 🐾🎄
The holidays are full of fun and cheer, but they can also bring hidden dangers for our beloved pets. Keep your furry family members safe with these tips:

🎁 Secure Decorations:
Tinsel, ornaments, and lights can be tempting but dangerous—keep them out of paw’s reach!
🍫 Watch the Treats:
Chocolate, candy, and festive foods may be tasty for us but toxic for pets. Keep them off the menu!
🌱 Mind the Plants:
Mistletoe, poinsettias, and holly are festive but can be harmful if nibbled. Stick to pet-safe greenery.
🔥 Protect from Flames:
Curious paws and candles don’t mix. Use flameless candles or supervise at all times.
🏡 Create a Calm Space:
Holiday visitors may stress pets out. Make sure they have a quiet spot to retreat to.

This season, let’s make sure everyone—two-legged and four-legged—enjoys the holidays safely! 🐕🐈❤️
