We had the pleasure of meeting the majestic Ollievanders, a stunning Maine C**n, through an emergency visit. While emergencies are never the best way to meet new pets, we’re always grateful for the chance to help them feel better. He truly stole our hearts with his calm presence and regal look! 🐾💙👑

☀️ Texas Summer Heat Reminder: Keep Pets Safe Outdoors! 🐶🐱

With the rising temperatures, it’s important to monitor our pets closely outside. Dogs and cats can suffer from heatstroke in just minutes—and in Texas, that risk is even higher.

🧠 Know the Signs of Heatstroke in Pets:
•Excessive panting or drooling
•Rapid heart rate
•Weakness or collapse
•Vomiting or diarrhea
•Glazed eyes or confusion
•Bright red gums or tongue
🚨 If you notice these symptoms, get your pet to a cooler area, offer water, and contact your vet immediately.

🐕‍🦺 Breeds More at Risk:
Some dogs are more prone to overheating, including:
•Brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers, and Shih Tzus
•Thick-coated breeds like Huskies, Malamutes, and Newfoundlands
•Older dogs, overweight pets, and those with heart or respiratory issues

✅ Pet Summer Safety Tips:
•Walk pets early in the morning or after sunset
•Keep water accessible at all times
•Provide shaded, well-ventilated areas
•NEVER leave pets in cars — even for a minute

Let’s stay alert and keep our furry family members safe this summer. 💧🐾
