🐾 Did you know? Heartworm disease in pets is spread by mosquitoes! When an infected mosquito bites your furr-kid, it can transmit heartworm larvae into their bloodstream (ew gross), and as those larvae grow it leads to damage to the pulmonary arteries, heart valves, and more. This results in cardiovascular problems for your pet. 🐶 💕 🐾

The GOOD NEWS is... we have tools to prevent these parasites. Make sure your fur-child is on heartworm prevention year-round to help reduce or eliminate the risk of heartworm disease in dogs all together.

With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

Happy World Collie Day! Did you know... "The name for the breed came from its probable place of origin along the Anglo-Scottish border.[3] Mention of the "collie" or "Colley" type first appeared toward the end of the 19th century, although the word "collie" is older than this and has its origin in the Scots language. It is also thought that the word 'collie' comes from the old Celtic word for useful." - from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Collie )

While much of the focus in hot weather is on doggo safety, cats can absolutely get overheated too!

🥵 Stay safe out there in the heat, fam! Some fun treats for doggos in the hot weather can include blended and frozen dog-safe fruits and veggies, you can make some pup-pops!

🍓 Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are safe for our pets, and you can blend them to juice and put them in ice cube trays and freeze for some tasty-cool pupsicles! Also safe for pets, (xylitol-free) peanut butter, sweet potatoes, or pumpkin, can also be delicious additives to your blended pup-pops.

💦 Have fun in sprinklers or doggy/kiddy pools, and try to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Share what you make with us in the comments! Stay cool 😎!

PSA: It's coming, and we're excited for the spookfest- but as always, any holiday brings changes to routine and increased risk of all sorts of accidents. Keep these things in mind this Howl-o-ween, and keep them fur-kids safe. 🎃 Keep pets in a safe room with the TV on or play calming music to help with anxiety from visitors or noise. 🎃 pets can slip out of doors that are opened frequently for visitors or trick-or-treaters 🎃 Keep your candy up and away from curious sniffers and chompers (much of it is toxic to pets) 🙂 have fun! #Halloween #Howloween #SafetyFirst #VCApets #KeepThemSafe #October #Spooktober #Spookfest #PetSafety

🍁 Fall is on it's way 🍂, and when the weather starts to cool in the evenings it signals wildlife to start preparing for the change of season, and usually this means we encounter them more. Lots of small mammals are going to be out looking for food to store or eat to plump themselves up, and our cold blooded friends (and bugs...) will be making their way to warm pavement at dusk, or inside our nice warm homes. 🐍🐜🌅 Here's a refresher info-graphic for what to do if you encounter injured wildlife, and follow the link for more information about some specific species you may encounter. https://www.wildliferescueleague.org/animal-help/ Call us or the Wildlife Rescue League with questions regarding wildlife you've found if you think they need human intervention.
