Vector-boson pair production is of great phenomenological importance at theLHC. These processes will help to validate the Standard Model at highestenergies, and they may also open the door for the discovery of new physicspotentially showing up in subtle modifications of the non-abelian structure ofweak interactions. In this letter, we review the status of the correspondingtheory predictions, focusing on the higher-order electroweak corrections. Wepresent a NLO analysis of electroweak corrections to W-pair, W$^+$Z and Z-pairproduction at the LHC, including all mass effects as well as leptonic decays.Contributions of photon-induced processes and massive-boson radiation are alsodiscussed. The electroweak corrections are implemented in the HERWIG++ MonteCarlo generator, where they are combined with QCD corrections. We also proposea simple and straight-forward method allowing for an \emph{a posteriori}implementation of electroweak corrections to vector-boson pair production inany Monte Carlo event sample.
