Happy June Juneteenth! 🎉

Let's celebrate Second Independence Day, the day the last African American slaves were notified that they had been freed from their masters. This historic moment reminds us of the enduring strength, resilience, and hope within the African American community.

Join us in honoring this significant day at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Together, we can reflect on our past and inspire a future of unity and equality.

🐾 Hey VCA Ponti Family! With the 4th of July just around the corner, it's time to get ready for the fireworks season! 🎆

Fireworks can be a stressful time for our furry friends, but medication can help in two big ways:

❤Reduces Anxiety: Fireworks can be loud and unpredictable, causing anxiety in many pets. Medication can help keep them calm and relaxed.

❤Prevents Panic: Sudden loud noises can lead to panic and even attempts to escape. Medicated pets are less likely to react fearfully and more likely to stay safe and sound.

Make sure to put in your medication orders early, as requests usually take 24 hours to process and we will be closed from July 4th. Let’s make this Independence Day a peaceful one for our beloved pets.

Happy Monday and let's prepare for a stress-free holiday! 🐾❤️

🐾 Meet Bruno, the newest member of the VCA Ponti family! 🐾

At just nine weeks old, this adorable Boston Terrier stole our hearts during his visit on Friday for his boosters. Bruno's curiosity and playful spirit brought smiles to everyone's faces here at VCA Ponti!

During his visit, Bruno received important vaccinations to keep him healthy and happy. His boosters included protection against distemper and parvo, two serious diseases that can affect dogs' immune systems and overall health.

Additionally, Bruno received his Bordetella vaccination, which helps protect dogs from kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory infection commonly spread in places where dogs congregate, such as boarding facilities and dog parks.
We're thrilled to be a part of Bruno's journey as he grows into a happy and healthy pup! 🐶💉
