Happy Fancy Rat and Mouse Day 🐭🐁
Unlike wild street rodents, fancy rats and mice are naturally clean groomers, can learn their names, and enjoy solving puzzles! Learn more about owning a rodent here: https://vcahospitals.com/avondale/know-your-pet/rodents-owning

43 years of compassion, leadership, and love for the animals and families he serves. 💙

We're celebrating Dr. Steve Thatcher, Medical Director at VCA Marina Bay Cities, who has dedicated over four decades to his patients, his community, and the veterinary professionals he's mentored along the way.

As VCA marks its 40th anniversary, we're so grateful for the doctors, technicians, and care teams who make this profession truly special. Dr. Thatcher is the heart of what that means.

Thank you for everything, Dr. Thatcher. Here's to you. 🎉

Enriching a pet's environment with food toys and puzzles can encourage mental stimulation and fulfill the need to forage, effectively increasing daily movement in inactive pets. Dogs and cats are natural hunters and scavengers. They benefit from regularly exercising this part of their brain.

Meet Chase — and the doctor who helped him get back to himself. 🐶❤️

When Chase was diagnosed with a bleeding heart tumor, Dr. Denitz used cutting-edge radiation therapy to treat the tumor and restore Chase's quality of life.

Same technology. Same precision. Same care used in top human hospitals — tailored just for Chase.

By the end of treatment, Chase was walking into his appointments all on his own. No leash needed. 🥹
This National Pet Cancer Awareness Month, we celebrate the pets who fight hard — and the VCA specialists who fight right alongside them.
