At VCA Animal Hospitals, every great day starts the same way — together. 🐾

Team huddles are more than a quick check-in. They're a moment to align, prepare, and give every Associate a voice before the shift begins. From anticipating key procedures to welcoming new team members, the huddles ensure no one walks into their shift without a clear picture of what's ahead.

And when the day wraps up? We celebrate. The end-of-shift huddle is our victory lap — a dedicated moment to recognize individual wins, lift each other up, and close out with the kind of positivity that carries into tomorrow.

Because when your team feels seen, heard, and supported, that energy shows up in every exam room, every conversation, and every life we help care for.

That's the VCA difference — a culture built on people first. 💙

Celebrating this with VCA Charities' Dog Day Out! is a free program that allows volunteers to take shelter dogs on a field trip, which helps dogs to meet new people and enjoy some time away from the shelter (plus it helps shelter staff learn more about each dog for their future adopters). Big thanks to Los Angeles Animal Services for our time with Cinnabun, Franklin and Julia!
