Today’s Dog of the Day is Max the goldendoodle, submitted by Shasta Jones of Care Connections Outbound.
Today’s Cat of the Day is Chip, submitted by Jennifer Beck of Pediatrics/Sickle Cell. “Chip took a while to warm up to our rescue dog, Storm. This was her stance when he would come around the first couple of weeks after we got her. Now she snuggles up with him. He doesn’t quite love it yet.“
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.
Max and Chip were featured in the April 10, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
