Be mindful of:
• Rich or fatty foods like gravy, mashed potatoes, and turkey skin
• Toxic ingredients like onions, garlic, raisins, and chocolate
• Food scraps that may not be suitable for your pet’s digestive system
Keep a watchful eye on your pets and ensure they’re safe from the holiday hazards that can sneak up during family gatherings.
We’re here for you and your pets 24/7—if anything unexpected comes up, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Happy World Kindness Day! 🌍💛
From all of us at VCA Animal Specialty Group, today is a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness—whether to people or animals—can make a world of difference. Whether it’s a kind word, a helping hand, or a loving pat on the head, kindness has the power to brighten lives, both human and furry. 🐾

Let’s continue to spread love and compassion to everyone—and every animal—we encounter. Kindness is contagious, and it’s always worth sharing.

Here’s to creating a kinder world, one gesture at a time!

Honoring Our Veterans This Veterans Day 🇺🇸

From all of us at VCA Animal Specialty Group, we take a moment today to express our deepest gratitude to the brave men, women, and military animals who have served in the armed forces—whether they are currently serving, retired, or have made the ultimate sacrifice. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice protect our freedoms and strengthen our nation. Thank you for your service.

A special shoutout to the service animals who work alongside our veterans, providing support, comfort, and assistance in ways words can’t fully express.

🌟 Canine Lymphoma Day – November 7th 🌟
Today, we recognize the strength and resilience of our canine companions battling lymphoma. This type of cancer affects the lymphatic system and can impact our dogs’ health in many ways, but with early detection and proper care, many dogs go on to live happy, fulfilling lives.
Did you know?
• Canine lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in dogs, particularly in middle-aged to older pets.
• Symptoms can include swollen lymph nodes, lethargy, and loss of appetite.
• The good news? With treatment, many dogs respond well and enter remission, like our incredible Lymphoma Graduates Nestle and King! 🐾
🏆 These two champions powered through chemotherapy and are now in remission, showing us all what courage looks like.
We’re proud to support these fighters, and if you’d like to learn more about canine lymphoma and how we’re helping dogs like Nestle and King, visit: https://vcahospitals.com/animal-specialty-group/know-your-pet =canine%20lymphoma
Together, we can raise awareness and continue to support the health and well-being of our pets. 💚🐕

As we continue to recognize Día de Los Mu***os - we’re grateful that many hospital teams created their own ofrendas! Our communities showed up by sharing pictures and items of their beloved pets at their local VCA this season! The lasting connections we have with our community members and your pets means the world to us. We honor all of those pictured.

These efforts have been made possible by our LatinX - Stronger Together Associate Resource Group for amplifying resources across our hospital teams to create their own ofrendas.
