Max clearly saw our last emotional support duck post and came prepared with his own ducky 🥹 He came in for an ultrasound to help diagnose the cause of some digestive issues and unexpected weight loss—but don’t worry, he had his plush pal by his side the whole time. 💙

📢 PSA from Boone: Cheatgrass is no joke.

This big guy came into our Urgent Care with a painful cheatgrass awn lodged between his toes. Fortunately, we were able to remove it and get him back on his paws in no time!

Cheatgrass can burrow into paws, ears, eyes, and noses—so it’s important to check your dog thoroughly after time outside. If you spot swelling, limping, or signs of discomfort, don’t wait. Our Urgent Care team is here to help with same-day care when you need it. 💙

The VRCCO team had another incredible experience volunteering with helping with trail maintenance on Tiddlywinks—one of our local favorites!⁠
⁠
Many of us at VRCCO love riding these trails, so it’s always rewarding to give back to the community and support COTA’s efforts to keep them safe and fun. A huge shoutout to our team members who dedicated their time, and to the COTA volunteers who make this all possible. We’re grateful to be part of such an awesome community!
