It’s National Pet Wellness Month! Help your pet stay as healthy as can be—from maintaining their vaccines, weight and dental health to giving them love and affection, and more.

National Alzheimer’s Month is a good time to assess your senior pet’s cognitive health.

Like humans with Alzheimer’s, pets may also suffer from a decline in cognitive function as they age. Speak to your VCA veterinarian to learn how to work together to help slow down the progression of cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS).

Playtime is one of Cheeks' favorite activities. Whether it's a game of fetch, a romp in the yard, or a playful wrestling match with his favorite squeaky toy, Cheeks is always up for some fun. But after a good play session, he loves nothing more than curling up for a cozy nap or snuggling with his human friends. His sweet and loving nature makes him an excellent cuddle buddy.

If you're looking for a happy, loving, and loyal companion who’s full of life, Cheeks is the perfect match for you! Bring this playful pup into your home and heart today.

Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Cheeks has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on all his vaccinations. He is at the Dallas Animal Care Center, so you come by any day of the week between Noon and 6 p.m. to meet him.

With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

Tornadoes form during intense thunderstorms and can reach wind speeds of 200+ mph. Although tornadoes can occur anywhere, they are prevalent in the Southeast and Midwest. Stay informed by downloading the FEMA app and signing up for weather reports and evacuation notices.
