🎃🐾 Happy Halloween! 🐾🎃

Today is the perfect day to dress up your four-legged kids in their fun and adorable costumes and enjoy all the excitement of the holiday! 👻

Just remember, Halloween candy is for humans, not pets. Many holiday treats can be dangerous for our furry friends. While you're out trick-or-treating, keep a close eye on your sneaky companions because they may be tempted to sample some goodies of their own!

Our goal is to keep everyone safe and out of the Emergency Care Service this Halloween. But if your pet does get into something they shouldn't, or if you have any concerns, give us a call at (505) 292-5353.

Have a safe, happy, and spooktacular Halloween! 🧡🕸️

This National Veterinary Technician Week, we're celebrating the incredible Associates who make our hospitals thrive — like Karen, who began as a CSR and never stopped growing and like Joanne, who sought mentorship and support to obtain her VTNE.

At VCA, we're proud to champion our veterinary technicians every step of the way — offering mentorship, encouragement, and the resources to help you reach your full potential.

To every vet tech in our VCA family: thank you. What you do matters deeply — to our teams, to our patients, and to the pet owners who trust us with their most beloved companions.

🐾 Labor Day Emergency Care Hours 🐾

VCA Animal Hospital & Referral Center will be open for Emergency Care Services from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Labor Day, September 7. If you have any questions, please give us a call at 505-292-5353.

As we celebrate Labor Day with family and friends, don't forget about your beloved family members! ❤️

If you're barbecuing, be sure to keep pets away from foods that could be harmful to them. And if you're planning to enjoy fireworks, remember that many pets can become frightened by loud noises.

To help keep your pets safe: ✅ Keep them away from table scraps and foods they shouldn't eat
✅ Provide plenty of fresh water and shade if they're outdoors
✅ Place them in a quiet, secure, and cool area where they feel comfortable and cannot accidentally escape

Let's make it a fun and safe holiday for everyone. Because no one wants to spend Labor Day in the ER! 🐶🐱
