Today’s Dog of the Day is Sebastian, submitted by Stacy Holmes of Nutrition Services. “Sebastian’s hobbies are eating, running, cuddling, relaxing, and play dates. He thinks he’s a great Dane, like his brother.”
Today’s Cat of the Day is Sammi, submitted by Georgina Caputo of Patient Access. “Sammi is my 20-year-old English tabby, a gift from my husband. She was a rescue cat and loves strawberry ice cream.”
Pets of the Day — what you need to know
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC News newsletter, which is posted twice a week by VUMC News and Communications.
The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent to the VUMC Voice Pet Photo Contest.
For those who submitted a photo to that contest, watch MyVUMC News for Pets of the Day, and in addition, regular collections of pet photos are posted to the VUMC Voice site. You can see them all here: https://news.vumc.org/section/voice/pets-vumc/.
If you have a pet you would like to nominate for Pet of the Day, the next Pet Photo Contest submission period is coming up later this year, and will be announced in MyVUMC News.
Sebastian and Sammi were featured in the April 3, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
