Important Heat Advisory: Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe

With the current heat advisory in effect, it’s crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of our furry friends. High temperatures can be dangerous for dogs, leading to heatstroke, dehydration, and other serious health issues. Here are some essential tips to keep your pets safe and comfortable during this hot spell:

1️⃣ Stay Hydrated
Ensure your dog has constant access to fresh, cool water. Consider placing multiple water bowls around your home and yard. Adding ice cubes can help keep the water cooler for longer periods.

2️⃣ Avoid Peak Heat
Limit walks and outdoor activities to early mornings or late evenings when temperatures are cooler. Asphalt and concrete can become extremely hot and burn your dog’s paws. Test the surface with your hand; if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them.

3️⃣ Never Leave Your Dog in the Car
Even with windows cracked, the temperature inside a car can skyrocket within minutes, leading to fatal heatstroke. If you need to run errands, leave your dog at home.

4️⃣ Provide Shade and Cooling
Make sure your dog has access to shaded areas if they are outside. Consider setting up a cooling pad, fan, or even a kiddie pool for them to splash around in.

5️⃣ Watch for Signs of Overheating
Be vigilant for symptoms of heatstroke, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse. If you notice any of these signs, move your dog to a cooler area immediately and contact your veterinarian.

6️⃣ Adjust Exercise and Playtime
On extremely hot days, reduce the intensity and duration of your dog's exercise. Opt for indoor play to keep them entertained without the risk of overheating.

7️⃣ Grooming and Fur Care
Regular grooming can help your dog stay cool. However, avoid shaving their coat too short, as their fur also provides some protection against sunburn.

8️⃣ Cool Treats
Offer your dog frozen treats or ice cubes to chew on. There are many pet-friendly recipes for frozen dog treats that can help keep them cool and hydrated.

9️⃣ Know Your Dog’s Limits
Certain breeds, particularly those with short snouts like bulldogs and pugs, are more susceptible to heat-related issues. Senior dogs, puppies, and those with medical conditions also require extra care in the heat.

By taking these precautions, you can help your dog stay safe and enjoy the summer months. Let’s keep our furry friends healthy and happy!

Stay cool Cleveland and keep your pets safe! 🐾😎

Feel free to share this post with fellow pet owners to spread awareness and keep all our pets safe during the heat advisory. 🐾

As a reminder, per Cleveland City Ordinance 603.092(a)3, pets may NOT be left tethered or unsheltered outside if a heat advisory has been issued by a local or state authority or the National Weather Service. Pets must be provided with dry shelter and water when outside.

Today, we celebrate the joy and importance of keeping our furry friends fresh and clean! Whether your pet loves bath time or simply tolerates it, let's take a moment to appreciate how a good bath can make them feel fabulous. 🌟

Here are some tips to make bath time enjoyable for you and your pet:

🧴 Choose the Right Shampoo: Use a pet-friendly shampoo that suits your pet’s coat and skin type.
🪮 Brush Before Bathing: Remove any tangles or mats to make washing easier and more effective.
💧 Water Temperature: Ensure the water is lukewarm to keep your pet comfortable.
🛁 Gentle Approach: Be gentle and avoid getting water and soap in your pet’s ears, eyes, and nose.
👏🏼 Treats and Praise: Reward your pet with treats and positive reinforcement to create a positive bath time experience.

Disclaimer: Healthy adult cats generally don't need baths unless their fur is coated with something that can't be brushed out or spot cleaned. Cats groom themselves, but regular brushing is essential. Always prioritize your pet's comfort during grooming! 🐾

🔥It's National Heat Awareness Day!🔥

🌞🐶 Hot summer days are on the horizon! It's the perfect time to raise awareness about overheating in dogs.

🐕 Dogs are especially susceptible to overheating during warm weather or intense exercise. Signs of overheating in dogs include, but are not limited to: excessive panting, drooling, and lethargy.

🚰 Keep your furry friends safe by providing plenty of water and shade. Avoid walking or playing with them during the hottest parts of the day.

❗️ If you suspect your dog is overheating, move them to a cooler area and offer water. Cool them down slowly with tepid water—never use ice. Spray or apply wet rags to their head, abdomen, underarms, and feet. Avoid covering them with towels as this can trap heat; instead, place wet towels underneath.

🐾 If symptoms persist, seek veterinary care immediately. Heatstroke is serious and can lead to severe health issues.

Keep your pets cool and safe this summer! 🌞❤️

🌊🐾 Happy National Fitness Day! 🏋️‍♀️ Today, we're celebrating the power of fitness and wellness for pets, especially through the incredible benefits of hydrotherapy. 💦 Meet Ein, a 13 ½ year old Corgi who's defying age and staying active with the help of hydrotherapy! Ein underwent lateral suture surgery in 2021 to repair a torn CCL in her hind leg. Thanks to dedicated rehabilitation efforts here at WPAH, including hydrotherapy sessions, Ein's knee healed as best as it could. Even after recovery, Ein's owner decided to continue hydrotherapy to support her overall health and wellness because of how well she was doing. Now, over 13 years old, Ein is still romping and playing with her much younger brother, all thanks to the benefits of hydrotherapy. Ein's owner also shared that she's now off all her daily oral medications for arthritis, thanks to a monthly injection called Librela. Ein's story shows the incredible impact of hydrotherapy on pets' mobility, vitality, and quality of life. 🐶💪 If you have a pet who could benefit from hydrotherapy or other fitness-focused therapies, we encourage you to explore these options with our veterinarians. Let's celebrate National Fitness Day by promoting health and happiness for our furry friends! Share your pet's fitness journey or hydrotherapy experiences in the comments below.

World Animal Enrichment Day is a day to celebrate and promote the importance of providing animals with stimulating and engaging environments. Enrichment activities can improve an animal's physical and mental well-being, prevent boredom, and encourage natural behaviors. There are many ways to enrich animals' lives, such as providing toys, puzzles, and sensory experiences. As animal lovers, we can all do our part to ensure that animals in captivity receive the enrichment they need to thrive. Let's use this day to raise awareness and take action to make a positive difference in the lives of animals around the world.

National Treat Your Pet Day is an opportunity to show your furry friend some extra love and attention. Whether it's a new toy, a special treat, or some one-on-one playtime, take the time to make your pet feel appreciated. Consider taking them on a walk to a new park or simply cuddling up for a movie night. Remember, pets bring us so much joy and companionship, so let's take this day to return the favor and spoil them a little bit. #NationalTreatYourPetDay #VetLife #WeLoveYourPets

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the discomfort and health issues that itchy pets can experience. Itching is a common problem in pets, and it can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, parasites, infections, and skin diseases. If your pet is constantly scratching, licking, or biting at their skin, it's important to take them to the vet for a check-up. Our veterinarians can help determine the underlying cause of your pet's itching and recommend appropriate treatment options. Remember, a healthy and happy pet is a pet that isn't constantly scratching and itching! #ItchyScratchy #ItchyPet #AwarenessMonth

Today is National Handshake Day! Did you know that "handshakes" have been around since 900 B.C.? Ancient Assyrian pressings show an Assyrian king and Babylonian king clasping hands to seal an alliance. A hand or paw shake is also one of the most trained behaviors amongst pet owners! Celebrate National Handshake Day by sharing a picture of your talented pet "Shaking".
