🌞🐾 Keep Your Pup Safe in the Heat! 🐾🌞

With temperatures rising, it's important to remember that walking your dog in the heat can put them at serious risk of heat stroke. 🥵

🚫 Avoid walks during peak heat — early morning or late evening is best. Pavement test: Hot surfaces can burn paws. If you can’t stand on the pavement barefoot 5-10 second its too hot to walk your dog
💧 Keep water on hand and let your dog drink often.
🐕 Know the signs of heat stroke: excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, and lethargy. If you notice these, get them to a cool place and call your vet ASAP.

Stay safe and keep your furry friends cool this summer! 🌡️❤️

After 77 days in hospital in Melbourne, Dr Greg called in to the practice today. He has some recuperating to do still. It was a joyful reunion with the wonderful vets, nurses and the team who have worked so hard to keep the clinic running so well. As recovery progresses he hopes to increase his time working with team, but for now it’s full steam ahead on recovery.

🌞🐾 Hot Weather Alert: Protect Your Pets! 🐾🌞

As temperatures rise, it's important to keep your furry friends safe in the heat! While cats and dogs love spending time outside, high heat can lead to serious health issues like heatstroke and dehydration. Here's what you can do to help them stay cool:

Avoid peak heat: Limit outdoor time during the hottest parts of the day (usually 10 AM - 4 PM).

Provide shade and water: Always have fresh, cool water available, and ensure they have access to a shaded area if they're outside.

Walks at cooler times: Opt for early morning or evening walks to prevent burned paws and overheating. If you can't stand bare foot on the path for 5-10seconds then it is too HOT for your pets.

Limit high energy games that require exertion ie no repetitive games like ball throwing in the heat

Watch for signs of distress: Heavy panting, drooling, or lethargy can be signs your pet is struggling in the heat.

Keep your pets comfortable and safe this summer by staying mindful of the temperature! If you're concerned about your pet's health in the heat, don't hesitate to reach out. 🐕🐈💦
