The Pet's Vet North End

This week will be exceptionally hot - please protect your pets by minimizing outdoor time - keep walks brief, do not leave pets unattended in cars, do not tie them out even in the shade and make sure they have free access to water and cool environments.

Sidewalks can get very hot in this weather so consider bringing back the booties to avoid contact burns. Wetting your pet down will not cool them down (and can actually trap heat) - if you wet them down to cool they need a fan/ac to evaporate the moisture off (which causes cooling).

Brachycephalic pets are exceptionally at risk - so this is the week to leave your frenchies, bulldogs and Boston terriers home on the couch in the ac!

If your pet needs to get some energy out - consider working on a new trick, reminding them of their obedience training or feed their meals in a snuffle mat to engage their brain

If you think your pet is suffering from heat stroke - time is of the essence please seek emergency care asap!

You may not be aware that “birch sugar” and “birch sap” are the same thing as xylitol- it is important for pet owners to be familiar with these terms when reading product labels. If xylitol toxicity is suspected or you know your pet has ingested a product with xylitol in it, seek immediate veterinary care!

Did you know February is Pet Dental Health month? Prevention of the most common oral disease in pets consists of frequent removal of the dental plaque and tartar that forms on teeth that are not kept clean. Regularly brushing your pet’s teeth is the single most effective thing you can do to keep their teeth healthy in between dental cleanings, and may even reduce the frequency or even eliminate the need for periodic dental cleaning by your veterinarian. Daily brushing is best, but it isn’t always possible- brushing several times a week can be effective. Most dogs will accept brushing, but cats can be more resistant- patience and training are important.

There are many pet products marketed with claims they improve dental health, but not all of them are effective. Talk with your veterinarian about any dental products, treats, or dental-specific diets you are considering for your pet, or ask your veterinarian for their recommendation. 🦷🪥🐾💙

We are excited to announce that we have been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association!
What does this mean?
As an accredited member, we have assured that stringent quality standards that encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine—from pain management and patient care to team training and medical record-keeping— are followed. AAHA’s standards are completely voluntary and only about 15% of veterinary practice and hospitals have achieved accreditation. AAHA’s guidelines were created to ensure practices are providing the most current, non-biased information on clinically relevant topics to benefit not only their patients and clients, but the entire veterinary profession! We look forward to continuing to provide the highest quality care possible to our patients 🩵

We wanted to alert everyone to an increase in cases of upper respiratory infections we are seeing in the area. Luckily, this does not appear to be linked or at all similar to the outbreak in NH last month, but the symptoms we are seeing more of include coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, and reverse sneezing. Patients that have been cultured are largely coming back positive for bacterial and viral causes that cannot be prevented with vaccinations. If your pet is having issues, please give us a call at 617-588-4022.
