EXPLANATORY NOTE

This current report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed to amend the current report on Form 8-K filed by VCA Antech, Inc. (the “Company”) on June 8, 2011 (the “Original Filing”).  The Original Filing was filed to report the results of the matters submitted to a vote at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 6, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Meeting”), including the voting results for both the Company’s non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers (the “Say-on-Pay Vote”) and the Company’s non-binding stockholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of future Say-on-Pay Votes.  The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding the frequency of future Say-on-Pay Votes.  Except for the foregoing, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Filing.  This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.

Item 5.07            Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
As previously reported in the Original Filing, a majority of shares voting at the 2011 Annual Meeting voted, on a non-binding advisory basis, in favor of an annual frequency for future Say-on-Pay Votes.

On October 26, 2011, after consideration of these voting results and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold future Say-on-Pay Votes on an annual basis until the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay Votes is conducted.
