☀️ Hot Pavement Can Burn! Keep Your Pet’s Paws Safe This Summer 🐾

A warm summer day might feel perfect for a walk, but hot pavement can be painful—and even dangerous—for your pet. Surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and artificial turf can reach scorching temperatures, leading to burned paw pads, blisters, and discomfort.

Here are some simple ways to help protect your pet’s paws:

🐾 Do the “5-Second Test” – Place your hand or bare foot on the pavement for five seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them.
🌳 Walk during cooler times – Stick to early mornings or late evenings when surfaces are cooler.
🌿 Choose soft or grassy paths – Grass and dirt are much gentler and cooler than pavement.
💧 Keep walks short midday – If you must go out during peak heat, keep it brief, bring water, and take frequent breaks.
🥿 Try dog booties or felt pads – These offer extra protection from hot surfaces (if your dog will tolerate them).
👀 Check paws regularly – After walks, inspect for redness, cracks, or blisters, and clean them to avoid infection.

🚨 Signs of burned paw pads: Limping, licking or chewing at feet, reluctance to walk, red or darkened pads, or visible blisters. If you see any of these, contact your veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day Weekend from Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic! 🍁

We hope you and your pets enjoy a fun, safe holiday weekend! Here are a few quick tips to help keep your furry friends comfortable during the celebrations:

☀️ Stay Cool & Hydrated

-Bring fresh water, offer shade, and avoid overexertion—especially for senior or short-nosed breeds.
-Hot pavement can burn paws—test before walking.

🚗 Travel & Boating

-Take breaks on long trips.
-Use a dog life jacket on the water—many dogs can tire quickly.

🎆 Firework Safety

-Keep pets indoors in a quiet space.
-Use TV or music to help mask noise.
-Make sure ID tags are current in case they get spooked.

🐾 We’re here if you need us !

Porcupine Quills 🚨

Patient Update: Lenny

This handsome two-year-old Golden Doodle named Lenny had an unfortunate run-in with a porcupine and came to us with quills in his face. He was examined, sedated, and given pain relief so our team could safely remove the quills. Thankfully, Lenny recovered well and was one happy pup heading home! 💛

🔴A reminder for pet owners: What to Do if a Porcupine Quills Your Dog

➡️ Contact your veterinarian immediately. Quills can migrate deeper and cause serious internal damage. Never try to remove them at home.
➡️ Do NOT trim the quills. Cutting them does not make removal easier and may cause further injury.
➡️ Avoid muzzling or harnessing near quills. Pressure can drive the quills in deeper.
➡️ Follow all recovery instructions from the veterinarian including medication and rest.

Porcupine encounters are more common in the warmer months—if your pet has a run-in, we’re here to help. 🐶🩺

"Corn Cobs a Hidden Danger for Pets" 🌽

Patient Update: Bruno

This is Bruno, a very handsome, 2 year old, Golden Retriever. He presented to Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic after eating a corn cob and started vomiting. X-rays revealed a corn cob gastrointestinal obstruction and surgery was needed to remove it. He is recovering well from his surgery in this picture.

Corn cobs are a common summer danger we see in the ER. When swallowed, they can get lodged in the stomach or intestines, causing pain, vomiting, lethargy, and life-threatening complications if not treated quickly.

💡 To prevent this kind of emergency:

-Never leave corn cobs within your pet’s reach
-Dispose of them in a secure trash can
-Remind guests not to feed table scraps

We’re happy to report that Bruno’s surgery went well and he’s now back home recovering well 💙.
