Dear mom and dad
I will always be thankful for the great adventures we have together. The fun times like walks, playing in the yard and at the park, and even just laying on the couch. I cherish all of them. Some cats and dogs don't get to loved like you love me. So, I am grateful that you took me into your home and made me a part of your family. Thank you for loving me and being my pet parent. Love 🐶🐱

Dog days of summer are here, festivals are upon us, and as fun as it may seem to take your furry friends out on the town, it is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.
Dogs can overheat when they can't regulate their body temperature. Some signs that your dog might be overheating include:
• Panting: Frantic or excessive panting
• Salivation: Extreme drooling
• Redness: Bright red membranes in the mouth, gums, or inside of the ears
• Labored breathing: Difficulty breathing
• Slowing down: Stopping or slowing down while walking or running
• Discomfort: Signs of general discomfort or anxiety
• Rapid heart rate: A fast heartbeat
• Wide eyes: Stressed eyes
• Seeking shade: Looking for shade or water sources

If your dog is showing signs of overheating, you can try these steps to cool them down:
1. Move them to a cool, shaded place, like an air-conditioned room or in front of a fan
2. Gently wet their head, body, ears, and paws with cool water
3. Place cool, wet towels on their neck, armpits, or behind their hind legs
4. Offer them small amounts of cold water to drink, but don't force them
5. Check their temperature every few minutes, and stop wetting and fanning them once it reaches 103°F

You should contact your vet immediately if your dog shows severe symptoms like:
Disorientation, Vomiting, Collapsing, Pale gums, Mental dullness, and Loss of consciousness.
Overheating can quickly progress to heat stroke, which can be life-threatening. Most healthy dogs will recover quickly if treated immediately, but some may experience permanent organ damage or die from complications.

Today is international picnic day! Be cautious with your pets!

People food can be dangerous for pets because it's not designed for their bodies and can cause digestive issues or immediate health concerns. Some foods that are safe for humans can be toxic to pets, and others can be harmful in other ways:
Chocolate: The most common toxin ingested by pets, according to the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center (APCC)
Grapes and raisins: Can cause kidney failure in some pets, which can be fatal
Onions and garlic: Contain N-propyl disulfide, which can damage a dog's red blood cells and lead to anemia
Xylitol: An artificial sweetener found in sugar-free baked goods, gums, candies, peanut butters, and jellies and jams, which can cause hypoglycemia and potential kidney failure
Nuts: Contain high-fat and high-oil content, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, obesity, and pancreatic issues
Salt: Can cause sodium ion poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, high temperature, and seizures
Fat trimmings and bones: Can cause pancreatitis
Persimmons, peaches, and plums: Can cause intestinal problems
Raw meat and fish: Can cause food poisoning
Yeast dough: Can cause pain and alcohol poisoning

How can you calm your dog's fear of loud noises?

Your pet may be comforted by being in a smaller, confined space such as a crate (if they are accustomed to a crate), a bedroom, closet, or bathroom. Play soothing music or turn on the TV for your pet. Human company helps, but try not to over-indulge your pet with sympathy. Give your pet attention and act like everything is normal! Never punish your pet for being scared. Try a thunder shirt, Pheromone Products, or ask us about anxiety medications.

National Donut Day! 😋
How Much Sugar Can a Dog Have?
If your dog is only eating sugar through dog-safe fruits, just make sure they don’t make up more than 10% of their overall diet. And try to mix it up with some veggies, since they don’t contain as much sugar as fruit.

However, if your dog has eaten plain sugar, a sugary treat, or candy, they could experience an upset stomach, gas, bloating, vomiting, or diarrhea—sometimes explosive or bloody diarrhea—depending on the amount consumed. So avoid giving your dog these other forms of sugar.

What to Do if Your Dog Has Eaten Sugar or Candy
If your dog has eaten a lot of sugar or candy, or anything containing xylitol, contact your veterinarian immediately. Too much sugar can greatly harm your dog's stomach or pancreas. And xylitol and certain other candy ingredients are toxic to dogs. Your pup will need to be treated by your veterinarian right away.

Dog days of summer are upon us!
Things to be aware of during these hot summer months.

Hot Beach sands and asphalt
Protect pawpads from burning! Asphalt can reach 125 degrees Fahrenheit on a 77 degree day!
If the asphalt is hot, have pets walk on the grass or keep that walk short.
Also, remember that shorter breeds of dogs will heat up quicker closer to asphalt or hot sand, putting them at greater risk of Heatstroke!
Heatstroke!
Early symptoms of heatstroke include difficulty breathing, excessive panting, drooling, mild weakness or stupor.
Severe symptoms can include collapsing, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea and a body temperature of over 104 degrees.
If you see symptoms of heatstroke immediately contact our office or your nearest emergency room.
Flat-faced breeds are even more prone to heatstroke. [Persian cats, Pugs and Bulldogs for example]

Fleas, Ticks & Mosquitos
Of course, we need to mention this. It is best to keep pets on a flea, tick, and heartworm preventative all year round, but if your pet's preventative has lapsed, make sure to get them back on it.
Heartworm Disease in dogs and cats is caused by mosquitos. Fleas & ticks cause many diseases, as well as anemia, itchy skin irritations, and even tapeworms!
When you're picking a product though, make sure it is appropriate for your pet. Call our office for more information on what product is safe and effective for your pet, we recommend Interceptor + and Credelio. 406-656-5622
