Summer is here, and it's the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with your furry friends! 🐶🐱 Keep your pets happy and healthy with these essential summer tips:

Hydration is Key 💧: Ensure your pets always have access to fresh, clean water. Dehydration can happen quickly in hot weather!

Shade and Shelter 🏡: Provide a cool, shaded area where your pet can escape the sun. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Avoid Hot Surfaces 🌡️: Pavement, sand, and other surfaces can become scorching hot and burn your pet's paws. Walk your pets during cooler parts of the day.

Never Leave Pets in Cars 🚗: Even with the windows cracked, temperatures inside a car can rise dangerously high in minutes. Always take your pets with you.

Grooming Matters ✂️: Regular grooming helps keep your pet's coat manageable and can prevent overheating. Consult your vet for the best grooming practices.

Watch for Signs of Heatstroke ⚠️: Symptoms include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, and vomiting. If you suspect heatstroke, seek veterinary care immediately.

Protect Against Parasites 🦟: Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are more active in summer. Ensure your pet is up-to-date with preventative treatments.

Safe Swimming 🏊: Not all pets are natural swimmers. Supervise your pets around water and consider a pet life jacket for extra safety.

Keep Them Cool Indoors ❄️: Fans, air conditioning, and cooling mats can help keep your pets comfortable indoors.

Enjoy the summer safely with your beloved pets! Share your favorite summer pet photos and tag us! 📸🐕🐈

We hope everyone is looking forward to a fun-filled Fourth of July! Please note that Hilltop Animal Hospital will be closed on July 4th to celebrate the holiday. We'll resume regular hours on July 5th. If any emergencies arise during this time, please visit:

Premier Veterinary Group
7000 W 159th St
Orland Park IL

To ensure your pets stay safe and stress-free during the fireworks, here are a few tips:

Create a Safe Space: Set up a comfortable, quiet area where your pet can retreat to during the fireworks.

Keep Them Indoors: Close windows and doors to minimize noise and prevent any escape attempts.

Use Calming Aids: Consider using pet-safe calming products like Thundershirts, or consult your vet about anxiety medications.

Distract with Toys: Give them their favorite toys or treats to keep them occupied.

Stay Calm: Your pets can pick up on your energy. Try to remain calm and reassuring.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us before the holiday!

Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸✨
