Summer is officially here☀️
Our extended forecast shows temps in the 90s, with heat index over 100*F! 🌡️
🔥Heat stroke can occur quickly in pets and it is important to know the signs. Brachycephalic (flat faced) dogs are at an increased risk of heat stroke: bulldogs, boxers, frenchies, boston terries, pugs, etc. Older pets as well as obese pets are also at an increased risk.
- Limit time outdoors
- Restrict exercise
- Never leave pets in cars!
If you think your pet is experiencing heat stroke it is an emergency and you should seek veterinary care immediately! Every second counts. It is best to call ahead so we can be ready to treat your pet upon their arrival. 770-787-1581
If it is after hours, get to the closest veterinary ER, which for many will be East Metro Animal Emergency Clinic in Covington.
