BLACKSBURG, Va., March 29, 2005 – Veterinary students enrolled in the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine will conduct a community "Dog wash" from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at the rear of the veterinary college complex. Signs on Southgate and Duckpond Drive will help guide participants to the event.
The cost of a 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-serve" 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 semi-annual dogwash, sponsored by the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association (SCAVMA), a professional organization for D.V.M. students, and the class of 2008, is a popular community event.
