‼️PSA FOR ALL PET OWNERS‼️

A quick reminder for all pet owners! With the Fourth of July approaching please make sure your fur babies microchip info is up-to-date and keep an updated collar/tag on them so you can be reunited if they were to get lost. Also, keeping crates open gives your dogs a comfy, safe space. Use white noise machines, keep the tv or radio on to help drown out the scary loud fireworks. Lastly, be careful when opening doors to prevent any unexpected escapes! 🐾

All of here at VCA are wishing everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙
