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.

It's "take your dog to work" Day! I love going to work with mom! I get to see all of my human friends! I get lots of treats and attention from them. It also makes me feel more comfortable in the hospital when I get to go and just hang out instead of going only when I'm due for vaccines or bloodwork. Not everyone's mom works at a veterinary hospital, so you may not be able to spend the whole day hanging out at one, but you can always stop by PetCare West for a quick social visit and get treats from the nice ladies at the front desk!

Happy International Corgi Day! This enchanting breed's ancestory can be traced all the way back to the 10th century! Welsh legend says that the fairies and elves of Wales used the Pembroke Welsh Corgi to pull fairy coaches, work fairy cattle, and serve as the steed for fairy warriors. If you look closely, even today you can see the marks of the “fairy saddle” over the shoulders in the Pembroke’s coat.

Hi! My name is Tucker, and I just wanted to stop by and remind you guys about something really important! As the weather warms up and your yards begin to dry out after the wet winter we just had, remember to clean out any pools or spas, and dump any containers of standing water. Mosquitoes can be not only bothersome, but they can be really harmful to the health of your pets! Did you know that heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes? Or that it can take up to six months for heartworm to be detected by labwork? A lifetime of heartworm prevention is often less expensive than treating this potentially deadly disease. You should reach out to my friends at PetCare West and make sure that your pets are up-to-date on their heartworm prevention😎 https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/heartworm-disease-in-dogs---treatment
