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!
Although we are very hopeful a day will come we can see each other’s radiant faces, for the safety of our staff and clients we will continue to require masks while in our facility at this time. Please continue to bring your own face covering for any time you are entering our facility. We appreciate as always your compliance!!
Our first patient Brutus was so happy with his experience at #petsvetboston he didn’t want to leave! We feel the same way Brutus 🥰#bostondogs #dogsofinstagram
