☀️ Heatstroke in Dogs: Know the Signs, Act Fast 🐶

Hot weather can become dangerous for dogs in minutes. Unlike us, dogs can’t cool themselves efficiently, and heatstroke can turn life-threatening fast.

⚠️ Watch for these signs:
• Heavy panting or struggling to breathe
• Excessive drooling
• Bright red or pale gums
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Weakness, confusion, or collapse
• Seizures

🚫 Never leave your dog in a parked car — even for a few minutes. Temperatures rise fast.

💧 How to prevent heatstroke:
✅ Always provide fresh water
✅ Walk early morning or late evening
✅ Avoid hot pavement (if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws)
✅ Make sure they have shade and airflow
✅ Skip intense exercise on hot days

🆘 If you suspect heatstroke:
Move them to a cool area immediately, offer small amounts of water, use cool (not ice-cold) water on their body, and contact us straight away on 01253 685100.

A little awareness can save a life. Share this to help keep dogs safe this summer. 🐾

🌡️ Hot weather reminder 🌡️

With temperatures rising this week, your pet’s safety is our priority. If you have a routine appointment booked and would prefer to rearrange, we’re more than happy to help.

⚠️ For brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs and French Bulldogs, we strongly advise avoiding visits unless it is an emergency, as they are at much higher risk in the heat.

Please remember:
💧 Fresh water at all times
🚫 Never leave pets in cars
🐾 Avoid exercise during the hottest parts of the day
🌡️ Check the ground temperature before walks — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws

If you think your dog may be overheating, contact us urgently on 01253 685100.

Stay safe and keep your pets cool 🐶💚

Meet Bea 🐾 — a lovely patient who came to our referral dermatology clinic with itching and a rash under her chest.

On examination, we found inflammation on her paws and chest, along with a bacterial overgrowth contributing to her discomfort.

We also noticed some weight gain, so we’ve checked her bloods — as conditions like thyroid disease can sometimes contribute to both skin issues and changes in weight.

As Bea’s allergy signs are mild and localised, we opted to manage her with targeted topical therapy — a great option that avoids the need for tablet medication while still effectively treating the problem 🌱

This approach helps control infection, soothe the skin, and minimise unnecessary systemic treatment.

Follow Bea’s journey as we support her back to healthy, comfortable skin 🐶✨

We are now in practice and open as usual. Have a lovely weekend 🐾

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to access the practice and, therefore, will be unable to answer calls until further notice. We are hoping to be back in the practice before 9:00am.

Further updates will be posted on our page.

Thank you for your understanding.

🐶 FOOD ALLERGIES IN DOGS

⚠️ Is your dog constantly itchy?
⚠️ Recurrent ear infections?
⚠️ Licking or chewing paws?

It might not just be “allergies”…
👉 It could be a food allergy

---

🍗 Common triggers:
Chicken • Beef • Dairy • Wheat • Eggs

(Any ingredient can be the cause! We’ve even seen apple allergy!)

---

🧪 How do we diagnose it?
✔️ Food elimination trial (6–8 weeks)
❌ No reliable blood test

---

💊 Still on medication but not improving?
Medication may only mask symptoms — not fix the root cause.

---

🩺 When to consider a dermatology referral:
• Ongoing infections
• Poor response to treatment
• Chronic itching

---

🌱 The solution:
✔️ Identify the trigger
✔️ Strict diet trial
✔️ Targeted treatment

---

🐾 Key message:
If your dog isn’t improving…
👉 A food allergy could be the missing piece

---
