Today’s Cat of the Day is Meeko, submitted by Tyler Bryan of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Lebanon. “Meeko has a younger brother, Peeko.”
Today’s Dog of the Day is Mae, submitted by Michelle Martelle of Vanderbilt Integrated Providers. “Mae is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua. She loves to run after her big pink ball in the backyard. She also loves when we play keep-away with her with the ball. If she could have it her way, she would play with you all day long.”
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.
Meeko and Mae were featured in the Aug. 28, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
