Koda knows that there is more to life than being really ridiculously good-looking.
For example, this handsome 11-month-old Husky/Shepherd mix also enjoys going for walks, playing in the yard, and staying as active as possible. But, of course, Koda is also ridiculously good-looking. In fact, he’s working on his modeling portfolio and would like to know which photo you think is best.

This #ThankYouThursday, the wags and purrs of gratitude are dedicated to @Covetrus_NA!
The team at Covetrus always goes above and beyond to care for animals and families. We are so grateful for their general sponsorship of the Day in the Park event last month in Santa Maria, where our clinic team was able to administer 441 free services to 142 animals in just four hours. That's a remarkable achievement to keep dogs and cats healthy and happy, and it was made possible through the generosity of partners like Covetrus.
