Did you know dogs use 18 muscles just to move their ears? This allows dogs to pinpoint sounds in specific locations faster than humans! Specifically, a dog can locate sound 1/600 of a second and four times farther away than humans. Unfortunately, dogs with long floppy ears are more prone to ear infections that can lead to hearing loss, swelling, and pain.
At Allegheny Veterinary Services we’re devoted to providing efficient and advanced care to every patient that comes to us for treatment.

We all know exercise is extremely beneficial to keep your pet in shape and maintain a healthy weight. However, you probably didn’t know about these additional surprising health benefits:
• Exercising your dog will keep him well behaved. Without moments of boredom your dog won’t try to find ways of being entertained, like ripping through the garbage or chewing a hole in the sofa.
• An exercised dog is happier and mentally sharper. Exercise stimulates your dog’s mind and keeps their brains flowing with healthy chemicals, like endorphins.
• Exercise relieves stress. Just like us, dogs use exercise to blow off steam and relax.
Did you know any of these amazing health benefits were possible just by encouraging your pet to exercise? Let us know!

We’re in the heat of summer! Make sure to keep your furry family member’s safety and health a top priority with these summer safety tips!
1. Pets that are elderly, overweight, have lung or heart disease are more susceptible to heat stroke. Make sure your pet with any of the listing conditions above are in comfortable and air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.
2. Make sure your pets are always supervised near a pool or large body of water. Not all dogs are natural swimmers and thus should be introduced to water gradually.
3. When the temperature is high make sure your pet is off hot asphalt. Just a simple walk down the street could overheat your dog and burn precious paws.
