Dogs are special and there are oodles of national (and international) holidays to prove it. But unlike most of our doggy days, National Mutt Day, on July 31, focuses on the mixed breed dogs who sometimes get overlooked. This holiday inspires people to learn more about adopting one.
National Mutt Day also brings attention to the many great mixed breed dogs in need of homes. In fact, they benefit from the spotlight so much that we celebrate mixed breed dogs not just once, but twice a year! On both July 31 and December 2, join us in celebrating all the mutts and mixed breed dogs that make our lives so great.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL MUTT DAY
1. Adopt a mixed breed dog
There are lots of great dogs out there who lack a home just because they don't have the right pedigree. But you can do your part to change all that. Getting any dog is a big responsibility, but a mixed breed will likely be healthier, happier, better behaved — and live longer than a purebred of the same age.
2. Donate to your local shelter
Not in the position to adopt a mutt? You can still help out your local shelter with a donation. Your money goes to things like food, toys and medicine. Every dollar counts, so you can really make a difference in the lives of all the dogs at the shelter.
3. Volunteer to help out
If donations aren't your style, you can always volunteer. Shelters need volunteers to befriend the dogs, play with them and take them for walks. A few hours of your time can make a big difference in their happiness and happy dogs stand a better chance of getting adopted.

✅ Parasites Are Common, Often Silent
Many dogs and cats carry intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, coccidia, or giardia. Pets can be infected without showing obvious signs, especially early on.

✅ Protects Your Pet’s Health
Parasites can cause:

Diarrhea or vomiting

Weight loss

Poor coat condition

Anemia (from blood loss)

Damage to intestines

Left untreated, some parasites can make pets very sick, particularly puppies, kittens, or pets with weaker immune systems.

✅ Protects Human Health
Some parasites are zoonotic, meaning they can infect humans (e.g., roundworms, hookworms, giardia). Kids are especially at risk because of close contact with pets and playing in soil or sand where parasite eggs might be present.

✅ Stops the Spread to Other Pets
Parasites spread through eggs shed in stool. Testing and treating infected pets reduces contamination in your home and yard and helps keep other animals safe.

✅ Routine Prevention
Many vets recommend yearly f***l exams for healthy pets, or more often for pets with diarrhea, puppies/kittens, pets that hunt wildlife, or those visiting parks, daycare, or boarding facilities.

In short, testing pets for intestinal parasites is essential for early detection, treatment, and prevention — protecting both animal and human health.

🌟 Why Annual Wellness Exams Matter for Your Pet 🌟

At VCA Greenbelt Animal Hospital, we believe prevention is the best medicine. Your pet can’t tell you when something feels wrong, which makes annual wellness exams essential for catching health issues early—before they become serious or costly problems.

✅ Early Detection of Disease — Many illnesses (like kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis) start with subtle signs. Annual exams help spot these changes early, when treatment is most effective.

✅ Personalized Vaccination Plans — Pets’ vaccine needs change over time. We’ll keep your furry friend protected based on lifestyle and risk factors.

✅ Dental Health Check — Dental disease is common and painful for pets. Regular exams help prevent serious infections and tooth loss.

✅ Weight & Nutrition Guidance — Obesity is a leading health issue in pets. We’ll help you keep your pet at a healthy weight for a longer, happier life.

✅ Parasite Prevention — Fleas, ticks, and worms can harm your pet and your family. Annual exams ensure your pet stays protected year-round.

Your pet is family. Let’s work together to keep them healthy, happy, and thriving for years to come.
