⚠️ Heat Advisory in Forney: Heat Stroke Warning for Pets ⚠️

If they must be outside, ensure they have access to shaded areas and walk them on grass instead of hot pavements, which can burn their paws. Never leave pets in carsβ€”even with windows cracked, temperatures can quickly become lethal.

Watch out for signs of heat stroke, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, and collapse. If you notice any of these symptoms, move your pet to a cool area immediately and contact your vet.

By following these tips, you can ensure your furry friends stay safe and comfortable during extreme heat. Stay cool and keep your pets happy and healthy!

🚨🐾 Disaster Preparedness: Ensuring Safety for Every Family Member 🐢🐱

Disasters can strike unexpectedly, but with a solid plan in place, you can ensure the safety and wellbeing of every member of your family, including your beloved pets. At Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital, we're dedicated to helping you prepare for the unexpected and safeguarding the furry members of your family. Here are some essential tips to consider when creating your disaster plan:

🏠 Locate and pre-arrange an evacuation site outside the impacted area. πŸš— Plan how you will transport your pets during an evacuation and practice evacuating with all pets and their supplies. πŸŽ’ Assemble an animal evacuation kit, including essentials like food, medicine, first aid supplies, and important documents. πŸ“ Designate a friend or neighbor to care for your pets if you're not at home during a disaster. πŸ”– Provide your designated caregiver with a letter releasing them from responsibility in case of injury and informing them of the location of your evacuation kit. πŸ” Ensure your pets have proper identification and updated microchip information. 🏑 Bring all pets indoors at the first sign of a potential disaster situation.

When assembling your pet evacuation kit, consider including:

🍽️ Food and medicine (with proper rotation and replacement) πŸ₯ First aid supplies 🚽 Sanitation items πŸ“„ Important documents 🧳 Travel supplies πŸ›οΈ Comfort items

Prepare your emergency contact list in advance, including crucial numbers and addresses, and keep a copy with your evacuation kit.

Remember, being prepared can make all the difference in keeping your furry family members safe during a disaster. Stay informed, stay ready, and together, we can ensure the safety and wellbeing of every member of our families, both two-legged and four-legged. 🌟🐾

🐾 Exciting News for Our Feline Friends! 🐱✨

Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital is thrilled to share the latest breakthrough in feline care! The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved Bonqat, a groundbreaking anti-anxiety medication specially designed for cats. 🌟

What makes Bonqat remarkable is that it contains pregabalin, a component widely recognized in human medicine for its effectiveness in managing anxiety. Now, our beloved furry companions can benefit from this innovative treatment to ease acute anxiety and fear associated with transportation and veterinary visits. πŸš—πŸ’Ό

Administered orally as a single dose, Bonqat provides relief approximately 1.5 hours before travel or a vet visit, offering a much-needed solution for our sensitive kitties. In a recent study by Orion Corp., a significant improvement was observed in cats receiving Bonqat, with over half experiencing a positive response during transportation and veterinary visits. πŸ“ˆπŸ‘

While Bonqat presents a promising option for feline anxiety, it's essential to note that it's only available through a licensed veterinarian. Proper dosing and administration are crucial, and professional guidance is necessary to ensure its safe use. πŸ“‹πŸ’Š

As with any medication, precautions must be taken, and the FDA advises careful handling to avoid potential adverse reactions. Our team at Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital is committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to pet parents considering Bonqat for their feline companions. πŸ€πŸ’œ

For more information or to schedule a consultation, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Together, let's ensure our feline friends feel calm, comfortable, and cherished during their veterinary journeys! 🐾

🐾 Protect Your Dog's Paws This Summer! 🌞

With the summer months here, we're all eager to enjoy the sunshine with our furry companions. But before hitting the pavement, it's crucial to protect your dog's paws from the heat. Here's what you need to know to keep those paws happy and healthy:

🐢 Your dog's paws are more than just cuteβ€”they're essential for walking, running, and even regulating body temperature. But their pads can be vulnerable to damage, especially in hot weather. It is worth noting that dogs are also prone to paw injuries related to hot grills as well.🐾

🌑️ How Hot is Too Hot? Asphalt temperatures can soar, reaching up to 60 degrees hotter than the air temperature. Pavement that's too hot can burn your dog's paws in just seconds. πŸ”₯

Preventing Paw Pad Burns:
Time Your Walks: Go out early in the morning or later in the evening when the pavement is cooler.

Stay on Grass: Opt for grassy areas instead of hot surfaces like asphalt or concrete.

Check Your Dog's Paws: Use the "seven-second rule" with your hand to test pavement temperature before walks.

Recognizing Signs of Paw Burn: Watch for limping, darker paw pads, excessive licking, or visible blistersβ€”these could be signs of paw pad burns.

What to Do if Your Dog Gets Burned:

Cool Their Paws: Use cool water to soothe their pads.

Seek Veterinary Care: If burns are severe, contact us immediately for proper treatment.

πŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί Remember, a little precaution goes a long way in keeping your pet happy and healthy during the summer heat. If you have any concerns or need advice, don't hesitate to reach out to our team at Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital. Your pet's well-being is our priority! πŸ’™

🌊 Protecting Your Pets: Water Safety Tips 🌞

As summer rolls in, we're all excited for pool parties and beach days with our furry companions. However, it's crucial to stay vigilant about the risks of pet drowning and take preventive steps to keep our pets safe around water. Each year, thousands of family pets suffer drowning incidents, though many go unreported. The good news? Most of these tragedies are entirely avoidable with basic safety precautions.

Here are some tips to prevent accidents around your home pool:

🐾 Teach your pet where the pool steps are located. 🐾 Install a secure fence around the pool area. 🐾 Provide a pet-safe ladder for easy exit access. 🐾 Supervise pets closely around waterβ€”never leave them unattended. 🐾 Pool covers are NOT a substitute for supervision. 🐾 Introduce your pet to water at a young age and never assume they can swim. 🐾 Consider a pool alarm system for added safety.

Water safety tips away from home: Heading to the beach or a lake? Follow these 🌴

Keep your pet on a leash near unfamiliar water. 🌴 Invest in a pet life jacket, especially in fast-moving water. 🌴 Enroll in a pet CPR class to be prepared for emergencies.

🌞 Allow your pet to enjoy water only under supervision. 🌞 Familiarize yourself with beach leash rules for pets. 🌞 Take precautions to prevent aggressive behavior near water.

🐾 By taking these simple steps, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for you and your beloved pets! If you have concerns or need further guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to us. Stay safe and have fun! 🌊

β˜€οΈ Keep Your Pet Cool this Summer: Prevent Heatstroke! 🐾

As the weather warms up, it's essential to protect your furry friends from heatstroke. Here's how you can keep your pet safe and cool during the dog days of summer:

🌑️ Understanding Heatstroke: Heatstroke occurs when your pet's body temperature rises above the normal range due to inadequate cooling mechanisms. Pets can't sweat like humans, so they rely on panting to cool down. Heatstroke can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. 🚨

⚠️ Recognize the Signs: Watch out for signs of heatstroke, including excessive panting, drooling, difficulty breathing, vomiting, weakness, and sudden collapse. Act quickly if you notice any of these symptoms. ⚠️

🐢 High-Risk Pets: Brachycephalic breeds (like bulldogs and pugs), overweight pets, elderly animals, and those with pre-existing health conditions are more vulnerable to heatstroke. Keep them indoors with air conditioning during hot days. ❄️

πŸ›‘ Preventive Measures:
-Avoid leaving pets unsupervised outside on hot days.
-Provide access to fresh water, shade, and shelter.
-Schedule outdoor activities during cooler times of the day.
-Never leave pets in parked cars, even for a short time.
-Keep high-risk pets indoors with air conditioning on hot days.

🚨 What to Do if Heatstroke Occurs: If your pet shows signs of heatstroke, move them to a cool area, offer water, and wet them with lukewarm water. Monitor their temperature and seek immediate veterinary care if symptoms persist. 🚨

β˜€οΈ Your pet's safety is our priority. Let's work together to ensure a happy and healthy summer for your beloved companion! If you have concerns about heatstroke prevention or need advice, don't hesitate to reach out to us (972-843-1383). 🐾

🦷 Pet Dental Health Alert! 🦷

Hey pet parents! Did you know that dental health is a critical part of your furry friend's overall well-being? Keeping those teeth and gums in tip-top shape can help prevent other health issues down the line.

Here are some signs that your pet might need a dental check-up: πŸ‘… Bad breath 🦷 Broken or loose teeth 😬 Discolored or tartar-covered teeth 🍽️ Difficulty chewing or dropping food 😿 Reduced appetite or refusal to eat

⚠️ Don't wait for these signs to worsen! Regular dental check-ups are key to catching problems early and ensuring your pet's mouth stays healthy and pain-free. ⚠️

πŸͺ₯ Remember, prevention is key! Regular at-home dental care, like brushing your pet's teeth, can make a big difference. Ask us about dental products and tips for maintaining your pet's oral health between visits. 🦷

πŸ₯ And remember, when it comes to dental procedures, always trust a veterinarian or board-certified veterinary dentist. Anesthesia-free cleanings don't get to the root of the problem (literally!), so let's keep those smiles bright and healthy together. 🩺

πŸ“žGot questions? Drop them in the comments or give us a call (972-843-1383). Let's keep those tails wagging and those teeth sparkling! 😁

🐾 Protect Your Pup from Tick Borne Illnesses (like Lyme disease) 🦠

🐢 Hey pet parents! Did you know that tick borne illness is a real concern for our furry friends, especially in endemic areas where ticks thrive? Here's what you need to know to keep your pets safe and healthy this summer! 🐱

πŸ•·οΈ Tick borne illnesses are caused by a bacterial infection transmitted through tick bites. It can cause symptoms like fever, joint swelling, and lethargy in dogs. Prevention is key, so let's break it down:

Tick Removal: If you find a tick, remove it within 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.

Environmental Protection: Keep your yard tidy by trimming shrubs and using acaricide-treated cotton to deter rodents that carry ticks.

Tick Prevention Products: Use monthly preventative medications like Simparica Trio, Bravecto, Vectra, or Revolution Plus to repel ticks and other pests.

Vaccination: Consider Lyme vaccination for dogs in high-risk areas to provide an extra layer of protection against this disease.

❀️ At Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital, we're here to help you navigate tick prevention and keep your pets happy and healthy all summer long! β˜€οΈ

🐾 Introducing Librela: A Breakthrough in Osteoarthritis (OA) Pain Relief for Dogs! 🌟

At Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital, we're excited to share information about Librela, a cutting-edge veterinary medicine designed to alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. The monoclonal antibody in Librela injections (Bedinvetmab) is a monoclonal antibody specifically engineered to target canine nerve growth factor (NGF). Monoclonal antibodies like bedinvetmab are molecules designed to bind to specific proteins involved in disease processes, providing targeted relief.

πŸ”¬ How do Librela injections work? Librela injections work by preventing nerve growth factor (NGF) from interacting with its receptors, particularly tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA). NGF plays a key role in pain sensation and inflammation, especially in joint diseases like OA. By binding to NGF, Librela reduces pain sensation and inflammatory responses, offering effective relief for dogs with osteoarthritis. 🩺

Why choose Librela for your dog?
-Licensed and approved for use in dogs
-Targets the root cause of osteoarthritis pain
-Provides long-lasting pain relief
-Minimizes the need for oral medications

🐢 If your dog suffers from OA and experiences joint pain or mobility issues, Librela injections may be a game-changer for their comfort and quality of life. Our veterinary team is here to discuss the benefits of Librela and tailor a pain management plan for your beloved companion. Contact us today (972-843-1383) to learn more about Librela and how it can improve your dog's well-being! Let's help your furry friend enjoy a more comfortable and active life. 🐾❀️

🐝 Pet Safety Alert: Insect Bites and Stings 🐾

As the warmer months bring us outdoors, it's important to be aware of the risks that insect bites and stings can pose to our furry friends. Whether it's a bee, wasp, spider, or any other critter, their bites can lead to discomfort and sometimes severe reactions in pets.

⚠️ Watch out for these symptoms after a bite or sting:
🌿 Swelling, redness, and itching 🌿 Hives or facial swelling 🌿 Vomiting 🌿 Difficulty breathing 🌿 Collapse

🚨 Seek Immediate Veterinary Attention If your pet shows signs of an allergic reaction, it's crucial to act fast. Contact your veterinarian immediately for guidance and possible emergency treatment. 🚨

πŸ•·οΈ What to Do Follow these steps after a bite or sting:
-Remove the stinger if visible: Use a credit card or tweezers to scrape or grasp it out.
-Apply cool compresses: Ease swelling and discomfort with cool compresses several times a day.
-Use a baking soda paste: Neutralize venom with a paste of baking soda and water.
-Prevent licking: Use an Elizabethan collar (cone) to prevent further irritation.
-Watch brachycephalic breeds: Monitor closely for eye damage due to facial swelling.

What NOT to do:
❌ Administer medications: Always consult your vet before giving any medications.
❌ Delay veterinary care: Seek prompt medical attention for serious reactions.

🌼 Stay informed and keep your pets safe this season! If you have concerns or need assistance, reach out to us for expert advice. 🐢

🐾 Managing Feline Osteoarthritis (OA) Pain with Solensia! 🌟

πŸ₯ At Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital, we understand the challenges of managing osteoarthritis (OA) pain in our feline friends. OA is a common degenerative joint condition in cats that can cause significant pain and mobility issues. Did you know that up to 40% of cats exhibit clinical signs of OA pain, and the prevalence increases with age? 🐈

🩺 Recognizing OA in cats can be tricky, as they often hide signs of pain. Watch for clues like difficulty jumping, navigating stairs, or using the litter box, changes in grooming habits, or a decrease in activity and playfulness. These signs indicate chronic pain that requires attention and treatment. πŸ’Š

⏰ In the past, treating OA pain in cats has been challenging due to limited options and difficulties with administering oral medications. However, we're excited to introduce Solensia, an FDA-approved medication specifically designed to manage OA pain in cats effectively and safely! 🐱

🌱 What is Solensia and how does it work? Solensia contains frunevetmab, a monoclonal antibody that targets Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a key mediator of joint pain signaling and inflammation. By binding to NGF, Solensia reduces pain response and inflammation associated with OA, providing relief and improving quality of life for cats. ❀️

Benefits of Solensia:
Once monthly subcutaneous injection administered by a veterinarian
Noticeable reduction in OA pain after a single treatment
High safety profile with minimal impact on the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal system
Effective pain management for cats with gastrointestinal sensitivities or other health conditions

πŸ“± If your cat shows signs of osteoarthritis or chronic pain, don't hesitate to talk to our veterinary team about Solensia (972-843-1383). We're here to help improve your cat's quality of life and ensure they stay active and comfortable as they age. 😊

🐾 Understanding Aging in Pets: Signs and Supportive Care 🌟

As our beloved pets age, it's essential to recognize the signs of normal aging versus cognitive dysfunction. Behavioral changes in geriatric pets can indicate underlying issues that require attention and care. What triggers behavioral changes in aging pets? Various factors can contribute to behavioral changes in senior pets, including:

-Sudden changes in routine
-Loss of a companion or family member
-Scary experiences
-Chronic pain or discomfort
-Sensory deficits
-Cognitive decline

🐢 These changes can lead to increased anxiety and stress in senior pets, affecting their overall well-being and quality of life. Just like humans, aging pets may experience physical and cognitive changes. 😺 Signs of cognitive dysfunction in pets can include:

-Disorientation or vocalization
-Changes in interaction or sleep-wake cycle
-House-soiling
-Activity level changes
-Anxiety or learning deficits

🩺 While there's no cure for cognitive dysfunction, supportive management can improve your pet's quality of life. πŸ’Š Suggestions for managing cognitive decline include:

-Regular health checks and pain management
-Controlling obesity and providing mental enrichment
-Ensuring good traction and night lighting dark areas
-Providing regular play, exercise, and outdoor access
-Considering psychoactive medications or a prescription diet for specific symptoms

πŸ₯ At Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital, we're here to support you and your senior pet every step of the way. If you notice any signs of aging or behavioral changes, don't hesitate to reach out to our compassionate team for guidance and care. πŸ€—

🐾 Ease Your Cat's Anxiety with Feliway Pheromone Diffusers! 🌿

😿 At Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital, we understand how stressful it can be when your feline friend feels anxious or fearful, especially during veterinary visits. Did you know that Feliway pheromone diffusers can help calm anxious cats and improve their overall well-being? πŸ’‰

🩺 Feliway pheromone diffusers work by releasing calming substances that mimic natural feline facial pheromones. These pheromones help reduce stress associated with transportation, veterinary clinic visits, and other anxiety-inducing situations. πŸš—

πŸƒ How do they work? Pheromone diffusers function like air freshener plug-ins. Simply plug them into a power source to release pheromones into the air, providing a sense of comfort and security for your cat. 😺

🐾 These diffusers can address various behavioral issues, including stress-related behaviors like urine spraying, aggression, and tension between housemate cats. Studies have shown that they can effectively reduce conflict and promote harmony in multicat households. 🐈🐈

πŸ“±If you're interested in exploring Feliway pheromone diffusers for your cat's well-being, talk to our team (972-843-1383). We're here to support you and your pet's health every step of the way. πŸ€—
