It's National Black Cat Day, y'all! 🐈⬛🎉
Today we're celebratingther beauty, sass, and resilience of these black beauties! Let's dive into some pawsitively cool facts about today:
🐈⬛National Black Cat Day was created in 2011 by Wayne H. Morris to honour his sister and her black cat, Sinbad, to help spread love and dispel myths about these mischievous felines. 💔🐈⬛
🐈⬛Despite their elegant appearance, black cats often face discrimination in shelters, taking up to 20% longer to adopt than cats of other colours (let's change that this year!). 🏠🐈⬛💙
🐈⬛Black cats have a special connection to witchcraft and folklore, featuring in Greek Mythology, Hera's anger, and Hecate's realm. 🧙♀️🐈⬛🌙
🐈⬛Black is the most dominant fur colour in cats.
Show your love for black cats today by:
🐈⬛ Adopting a black feline friend from a shelter
🐈⬛ Sharing posts and spreading awareness about their adoption rates
🐈⬛ Giving your black cat extra cuddles and treats
🐈⬛ Donating to local animal shelters to support their care
Together, we can make this National Black Cat Day one for the books! 📚🐈⬛ #NationalBlackCatDay #BlackCatLove #AdoptDontShop #dalevetclinic #weloveblackcats🖤

The HOT is HERE!
Dogs don't sweat, at least not like we do. This makes it hard for them to cool down, especially when they wear a fur coat 24/7. Panting is a dog's most effective means of cooling down, and in most cases, it is quite normal and nothing to worry about. So, when does panting become excessive panting?
Unfortunately, there's no specific way to measure how much is too much, as it depends on your dog's breed, age, and health. However, if your dog is panting heavily and does not stop after 5-10 minutes of being in a cool, shaded area, it might be suffering from heatstroke.
If you think you're dog has heatstroke, please call your vet a.s.a.p. Make sure you move your dog to a cool, shaded area. Offer small amounts of cool (not cold, not ice) water. Apply a cool, wet towel to your dog's body to help cool it down. Then transport it to your vet or vet emergency clinic.

Today we celebrate the dog with the softest, sweetest eyes out there, the CKC Spaniel!
These dogs are British in origin and were favourites of King Charles the Second. The Cavalier comes in 4 colours, Blenheim (Ruby and White), King Charles (Black and Tan), Ruby (Ruby Red/Chestnut) and Tricolour (Black, Tan and White).
Cavaliers have wonderful temperaments and can make great family pets, however, they can have some health concerns, so make sure you bring your Cavalier home from a reputable breeder or rescue.
