As the weather heats up, keep your pets cool and comfy with these simple tips:

1️⃣ Hydration: Always provide fresh, cool water—add ice cubes to keep it extra refreshing!

2️⃣ Seek Shade: Create shady spots for your pets to escape the sun’s intensity.

3️⃣ Frozen Treats: Make pet-friendly frozen snacks like watermelon or broth ice blocks.
4️⃣ Walk Wisely: Stick to early morning or evening walks when it’s cooler.

5️⃣ Pavement Check: If the pavement’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws.

6️⃣ Grooming: Regular grooming or a summer trim helps keep your pet comfortable.

7️⃣ Car Safety: Never leave pets in a parked car—it can heat up dangerously fast.

Let’s keep our pets safe, happy, and cool all summer long! 🌴🐕❄️

Did you know stress can lead to constipation in cats?

Just like humans, cats can develop digestive issues when they're stressed, and constipation is a common sign.

🧠 How Stress Triggers Constipation:

Changes in routine, new environments, or even subtle shifts at home can stress your cat. This stress affects their gastrointestinal system, causing slower bowel movements.

👉 Signs of Constipation in Cats to watch for:

▪️Straining or spending extra time in the litter box with little to no result.
▪️Dry, hard stools or no bowel movement for 48+ hours.
▪️Loss of appetite or lethargy.
▪️Discomfort or a bloated belly.
▪️Avoiding the litter box or showing signs of distress when using it.

⚠️ Why Prompt Treatment is Important:

If left untreated, constipation can lead to more serious issues like megacolon or intestinal blockages, which may require surgery. Catching it early is key to preventing further complications.

Some lovely words from one of our long term clients:

“Reedy Creek Veterinary is truly a blessing for my furbaby. They go the extra mile without any hesitation.

Thank you for the bottom of my heart for the kindness shown by Dr Justin Ward and team yesterday. I will never forget what you did.

It made Dee Dee love her Uncle Justin a little bit extra yesterday 🧡🌈🐾😻”

(Sorry to disappoint, Dr Justin isn't consulting! He is in the hospital helping with cases where needed and as our most valued surgeon).
