Ask yourself, “Is it too hot to walk my dog?”

Henry here, went for a very unsuspecting walk on one of our slightly warmer days and to his and his dads surprise and dismay discovered too late that it was too warm to go for his regular walk that day.

The pavers had done the damage and Henry is now recovering from his paw pads being burned.

Henry now has pain relief on board, had his burns cleaned and will be having no walks while his paws recover (as well as being extra cautious during summer).

The temperatures can be quite deceiving, its important to test the temperature of the footpaths BEFORE we take our pets out. To do this, place the back of your hand on the footpath (thats been in the sun all day), if you can keep your hand there and NOT feel hot for a full 10 seconds, it is ually a good indicator that its safe

What temperatures are safe for dogs to walk in?

For the average healthy adult dog, temperatures under 23°C are generally the safest for walking. Temperatures over 28°C have a high risk of Heat Stroke and burnt Toe Beans.

12-19°C – it’s generally safe to exercise your dog. Some brachycephalic breeds and any dog with health issues or traits that make them more susceptible to the heat must take care with temperatures higher than 16°C

20-23°C – low risk for heat stroke

24-27°C – moderate risk for heat stroke

28-31°C -high risk for heatstroke. Life threatening for brachycephalic breeds, puppies, large breed dogs and those with medical issues.

32°C or higher – severe risk for heatstroke for all breeds.

Some breeds of dogs with certain health conditions are more sensitive to heat and have a higher risk of heat stroke, and care must be taken when the temperature is higher than 16°C. For dogs at higher risk of heat stroke, consider short walks only, at cooler times of the day, or indoor activities only on very hot days.

Signs of heat stroke include:
Excessive panting
Noisy breathing
Drooling
Change in gum colour (pale or overly dark pink/red)
Vomiting
Dizziness, confusion, or agitation
Staggering/unsteadiness
Seizure or collapse

Heat stroke can be fatal. If you notice these signs in your dog, take them to your nearest veterinarian immediately.

5yr old Paco recently went to Greencross Vets Brookvale for his annual wellness check. As a Healthy Pets Plus member, his consult is included in his membership.

Paco was given a clean bill of health with advice for his pet parents to brush his teeth twice a week and to switch his diet to a Hills or Royal Canin prescription diet to help maintain a healthy summer bod.

Meet Dr Louise! 💛🐾

If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind those gentle hands and big-hearted care at our Roseville clinic - it’s her!

Louise has loved animals her whole life (yes… Babe made her cry and changed her forever 😭🐷). She graduated as a vet in the UK in 2018 and later moved to sunny Australia for the beaches, the people, and the seriously good coffee.

She has a passion for dentistry, abscess work and internal medicine, and she’s adored by patients for her calm, caring approach. At home, she’s happily bossed around by her cheeky cat, Mushroom.

✨ Want to meet her?
You can chat with Dr Louise at our Roseville Open Community Day this Saturday, 9am–3pm!

It’s tough being a baby - everything in the world is brand new & has to be explored with your mouth. Unfortunately, that sometimes leads straight into mischief!

Keith got a little too excited and ended up swallowing a big apricot stone 🍑…large pip + tiny tummy = potentially big trouble!!

Thankfully Dr Luana and Nurse Dolores at our Gleneira branch were armed for the “fruity chaos” & were right there to look after him during his emesis procedure.🤢

Keith wasn’t 100% convinced about the help he was receiving but he did brave the waves of nausea like a champ and strutted out afterwards to spend the rest of the afternoon bathing in the sunshine to recuperate! 🐾

We had Santa’s helpers come in over the past week! A few tried to spill Santa’s secrets, others lawyered up. 🤫🎅 But one thing’s for sure.. they’ve all seen the naughty and nice list, and if you can’t tell - they’re judging accordingly. 🐾😆
