🌞🐾 Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer! 🐾🌞

Summer heat can be tough on our furry friends, but with a little extra care, we can keep them safe and comfortable! Here are some tips to help your pets stay cool:
1. Provide plenty of fresh water – Make sure your pet always has access to cool, fresh water.
2. Limit outdoor time – Avoid walks during peak heat hours (10 AM - 4 PM). Early mornings or evenings are best.
3. Shade & Ventilation – Ensure your pet has a cool, shaded spot to relax. Fans or air conditioning can also help.
4. Groom regularly – Regular brushing removes excess fur and helps with heat regulation.
5. Watch for signs of overheating – Heavy panting, drooling, or lethargy could indicate heatstroke. Get them to a cool place immediately and contact your vet.

Stay cool, stay safe, and let your pets enjoy the summer too! ☀️🐶🐱

🐾 Is Your Dog Scratching More Than Usual? 🐾

If your pup is constantly scratching, licking, or biting at their skin, they might be dealing with skin allergies. Allergies can cause rashes, redness, and irritation, making your dog uncomfortable. Common culprits include certain foods, pollen, dust mites, and even flea bites!

👩‍⚕️ What to Look For - Swipe to see some examples of skin irritation:
• Red or inflamed skin
• Patches of hair loss
• Excessive itching or licking
• Scabs or sores

If your dog is showing any of these signs, it’s time to consult with your vet. They can help identify the cause and recommend treatments like antihistamines, special shampoos, or dietary adjustments to ease the discomfort.

Remember, a little extra care can make a world of difference for your furry friend’s well-being! 💕

Meet Maodou, a 13-year-old Toy Poodle who came in for some check-ups today and is always up for a cuddle with nurses Brooke and Sinead! 💕🐾 We ran blood tests, X-rays, and did some dental work—and we’re thrilled to report that her blood results and teeth are fantastic for her age! 🩺🦷 No teeth needed to be removed, which is always a win! 🎉

Her X-rays did show some changes in her neck and right patella, which could be causing her some discomfort. To help with this, we’ve started her on a monthly Beransa injection to manage any arthritis-related pain. 💉🐾

She’s doing great, and we’re so happy to keep her feeling her best! 😄🌟

🚨 Emergency Caesareans: When Every Second Counts! 🚨

At AMC, we understand that emergencies can happen at any time, especially during the delicate process of pet pregnancy. Our experienced veterinary team is fully equipped to perform emergency caesareans, ensuring the safety and health of both the mother and her puppies or kittens.

Signs that may indicate an emergency include:

• Prolonged labor (more than 2-3 hours)
• Excessive distress or panting
• Weak or no contractions
• Vomiting or lethargy

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait! Contact us immediately. Early intervention can be crucial in preventing complications.

Our clinic is on call 24/7 because your pet’s well-being is our top priority. Trust us to provide the compassionate care and expertise your furry family member deserves.

🐾 Today was a big day for Swanny. He underwent anesthesia for a dental procedure here at AMC, and we’re happy to report that his teeth were in pretty good shape—no extractions needed! A big thanks to Nurse Sinead for doing an excellent job cleaning his teeth! Swipe for a before and after. 🦷

Regular dental care is crucial for dogs, as poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and affect overall health. Routine check-ups and cleanings can help maintain those healthy smiles.

If you notice bad breath, tartar buildup, or changes in eating habits, it’s time for a vet visit! A healthy mouth means a happy pup.

Plus, don’t forget—we’re offering 25% off dental procedures for a limited time!
