It's hard to leave your pets at home when you have errands to run, but being separated could cause your pet to become overly anxious. It's important to be aware of separation anxiety to help your pet overcome it.

Make sure to schedule an appointment with your VCA veterinarian to discuss how to handle your pet's separation anxiety.

If you guessed Axolotl, you are correct!

Did you know that they are on the Mexican 50 Pesos (which is about 2.58 in US dollars)?

That's pretty cool! I want cute animals on our money! What do you think?

08/24/2024

If you guessed Mission Golden-Eyed Tree Frog then you are correct!

If you said Amazon milk frog and blue milk frog you are also correct!

They are sometimes known as milk frogs due to the milky-white substance they secrete, which is poisonous when consumed by predators.

And you can tell their age by the amount of bumps on their backs! Just like Doctor Brawley likes to say, you get older and you get a little lumpy.

Have you ever heard of a Lli Pika?

These adorable rodents are often called the magic rabbit. They live in rocky areas at high elevations, such as mountain peaks, inland cliffs, and talus slopes. They often can be found inhabiting the gaps in the rocky walls, using the small areas as dens.

They are very hardy little rodents. Able to withstand very cold temperatures. They don't hibernate like some animals during cold months, instead they hide under the snow to help preserve their body heat.

Some say they look like little teddy bears.

What do you think?

If you guessed Toyger, you are correct!

This is a very rare breed of cat that can, at first glance, look like any regular tabby but isn't. Unlike tabby cats, their stripes branch out in a bold pattern over an orange-toned background. They also have a very unique circular stripe pattern on their heads. While unique to domesticated cats, it is similar to wild tigers.

The answer is Bedlington Terrier!

You don't see a lot of these dogs, they are actually considered to be quite rare. Known for lamb like tufted face, they sadly tend to have an inherited liver disease which dealt a big blow to the breed in the 1970's.

Did you know that Flamingos are actually naturally white in color?

Yes, they are not naturally pink, despite how we are used to seeing them. Young flamingos are hatched white or grey and only turn pink due to their diet! The main source of their diet, and the reason for their pink color, is a diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. Which interestingly enough, is food that would kill other animals if they attempted to eat/live on it.

I always thought Flamingos were pink and never second guessed it. I think there is even a color we call Flamingo Pink!

The more you know.
