 Free Photo with Santa!!

Pet photos are rarely simple but they are always super fun! 

This Saturday, our pet community came out VCA Hollywood’s 8^th Annual Free Pet Photo with Santa Event. With over 800 photos taken, the weekend proved to be a success.

Now a regular fixture in our holiday traditions, Santa's visit marks the end of our Pet Food Drive for Meals on Wheels for Companion Pets Program and we are grateful to all who came, donated and shared in the fun with the Big Bearded One! Every year, Santa is sure to make time to visit our hospital staff to ensure he shares his holiday spirit.

Visit our Facebook page for great photos of some of the fur-families that joined in the fun as well as outtakes of the hilarity that ensues whens Santa suits up with a lot of animals!

*These collections are full of some "great shots" and also some silly, "feline in your face", "dog on your lap good" times. Enjoy!

Meals for Companion Pets Founded in 1999, the Meals for Companion Pets Program is a volunteer-driven effort providing pet food to homebound and disabled seniors in Broward County. Research shows that seniors with pets are less likely to exhibit depression, report feelings of loneliness and experience illness. But taking care of a pet – feeding, grooming and veterinary care – can be financially and physically burdensome to seniors. More often than not, a devoted animal lover with limited access to food will feed their hungry pet before they feed themselves. Pet food is provided through the generosity of local donors and grants and is delivered on the third Saturday of each month. Volunteers are always needed on the third Saturday of the month to pack & deliver food.
