VCA Animal Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to VCA Animal Hospital with an unusual package. The receptionist took one look and said, ‘We usually see dogs and cats here—not penguins!’ As it turned out, the penguins belonged to a local zoo that had accidentally mixed up their delivery order. After some confusion and laughter, everyone involved agreed to swap packages—except for the penguins, who seemed quite content hanging out in the waiting room until their rightful owners arrived.

2. A concerned neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked, ‘Why does that hospital keep calling my dog “Mr. Whiskers”?’ The vet staff just assumed your pooch was named Mr. Whiskers because he had such a majestic air about him. Turns out, he’s actually Max the Magnificent. Afterward, everyone agreed it was worth it for such an adorable nickname—and maybe they’ll finally stop calling every cat ‘Mr. Fluffy’ too.

3. One rainy night, a delivery driver arrived at VCA Animal Hospital with a crate full of supplies. As he walked into the lobby, he noticed something odd on the counter—a small box wrapped in brown paper, labeled simply: "For Whiskers". Curious, he opened it and found a note inside: 'Dear friend, please take good care of Whiskers until she finds her way home.' Below was a picture of a tiny kitten with big green eyes. The next morning, everyone at the hospital was talking about Whiskers—until another package arrived with a similar note, but this time for Mittens!'

4. One day, a worried owner rushed into VCA Animal Hospital, yelling, 'They said my dog’s medicine is here!' But no one had seen it. Finally, an exhausted intern found a tiny bottle hidden behind some cat toys. The relieved owner exclaimed, ‘Thank God! I was sure they’d lost it.’ To which the vet replied, ‘No worries, sir—we’ve got more where that came from!’
