Beat the Heat! β˜€οΈπŸΆ

We’re all feeling the effects of the warm weather and our four legged friends are no exception. Be mindful of keeping your dogs cool, especially puppies, older dogs and our brachycephalic (flat faced) friends.

Here are some simple tips to help!

πŸ’§Fresh Water Always – Make sure they have access to plenty of cool, clean water.
🐩 Breed matters - Brachycephalic (flat faced) dog are extra susceptible to the heat
🌿 Shade & Rest – Give them a cool place to relax, indoors or under shade.
πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ Walk When It’s Cool – Early mornings and evenings are best.
🐾 Paw Check – If the pavement is too hot to keep your hand on for 3 seconds, it’s too hot for their paws.
❄️ Cool Treats – Frozen snacks or ice cubes in their bowl can help.

Stay safe and keep your pup comfortable!

Happy holidays! πŸŽ„πŸΆ Here are 5 tips for a smooth Christmas season with your furry friend

1. Create a Safe Space

The holiday hustle and bustle can overwhelm your dog. Set up a quiet area with their bed, toys, and water where they can retreat if the festivities become too much. This is especially important if you have guests over or young children visiting.

2. Be Mindful of Dangerous Foods
Christmas treats like chocolate, mince pies, raisins, nuts, and onions are toxic to dogs. Ensure these are kept out of reach, and inform guests not to feed your dog scraps from the table.

3. Use a calming agent
Calming sprays like Adaptil or Thunderessence to help your dog relax! Consult your vet if you are concerned about your dog being overly stressed

4. Secure Decorations
Ensure decorations are secured down or well out of reach of curious mouths!

5. Keep your emergency vet’s information on hand
Just in case it’s helpful to have your local emergency veterinarian number and address written down
