Another patient shoutout; Richie! 🐶
Isn't he just the cutest little guy ever!😍

Here's a couple things about him from his lovely owner: "He's the most playful, sweetest little man. He loves to play tug of war and fetch with his toys. He knows how to sit but only in Spanish. He has so so many toys but his favorite is still mom's hands or crocs. We're working on that. As cute as he looks he's just as stubborn and learning new things can be tricky. He loves taking naps, especially after a bath. He is so curious about the world and can't wait to sniff what's new! He loves his team at VCA for always giving him so much love and care!"

We adore you Richie! 💋

Remy is wondering what is up with all this rain?! 🐶☔

Is your dog current on their Leptospirosis vaccine? The most common way dogs get leptospirosis is through water contaminated with urine, particularly stagnant or slow-moving water like puddles, ponds or lakes.💧

Many different animals can spread leptospirosis through their urine, primarily rodents and small mammals like rats and raccoons, and even some livestock. Leptospira enters the body through ingestion, broken skin or mucous membranes (eyes, nose or mouth).
