Veterinary students to present Community Dog Wash on Sept. 26
Students at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine will hold their biannual Community Dog Wash on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg.
The dog wash will be held at the rear of the veterinary college complex on 245 Duck Pond Drive, on the side closest to Southgate Drive. Signs on Southgate Drive and Duck Pond Drive will guide participants to the event, and ample parking will be provided.
Presented by Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) students enrolled in the college, the dog wash is always a popular community event. The cost of the dog wash is $10, and for an additional $5, customers can have their dogs’ nails trimmed and ears cleaned.
Animals will be washed on a first-come, first-served basis, and no appointments are necessary. Dogs will be washed while owners wait. Dogs must be on a leash and be at least 5 months old with current vaccinations.
The dog wash is sponsored by the DVM Class of 2019 and the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association, a professional organization for DVM students.

If you are an individual with a disability and desire an accommodation, please contact Carling Sitterley at 540-231-7828 or email cmsitt@vt.edu during regular business hours at least three business days prior to the event.
