Pet Safety is always a top priority. E-cigarettes, like other nicotine-containing products, pose a significant health risk to pets if the liquid is ingested. The difference is the onset of symptoms is more rapid, only 15-30 minutes. Urgent treatment is necessary in most cases. Keep the information for your closest emergency veterinary hospital and pet Poison Helpline (1-800-213-6680) easily accessible for any potential substance exposure.

Today is World Animal Enrichment Day and this is Barnacle enjoying a couple new enrichment devices, aka toys! Today we focus on the importance of providing enrichment to animals under human care in order to stimulate them both physically and mentally. Enrichment is a key component to any animal's quality of life and isn't limited to just toys! Activities, like visiting the beach 🌊 or going on a hike ⛰️ can be enriching too. What elements do you add to your pet's life that they find enriching? #animalenrichment #playtime #toys #vcacares #vcapets #weloveyourpets #naturalbehavior #enjoylife #vcaemergency #vcaspecialty
