Summer is rolling in! please remember that walking your dog in high temperatures can be dangerous.

Dogs cannot sweat like we do, so please look out for signs of heat stroke:
-high body temperature
-elevated heart rate
-heavy panting
-excessive drooling
-seizures
-dizziness/confusion

Walking your dog early in the morning or after the sun has set can help protect your dog during the extreme heat!

As always, feel free to call our office if you have any questions or concerns about your pet.

Some really good ideas to share with you. Remember, though, that certain seemingly innocuous foods will send your dog to the ER (grapes, raisins) so keep that in mind.

On a hot day, the temperature inside a car can quickly climb to 140 degrees.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), on a 70-degree day, the temperature in a car can hit 89 degrees in ten minutes. On a hot day, the temperature inside a car can shoot up to 109 degrees in the same amount of time. Think cracking a window will cool things down? Think again. Multiple studies confirm that cracking a window doesn’t reduce the temperature.
Please leave your pets at home even for quick stops.

We all love our dogs and some think their dog can do no wrong - but please understand that aggressive behavior from or to your dog is not unusual in the animal kingdom. We can’t know what a dog is thinking or what they might react to. Keep yourself and your dog safe and out of the Veterinary ER. Keep all dogs leashed.

National Wear Red Day seeks to encourage and enlighten women about heart diseases. Men are not left out as many of them have succumbed to heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women.
Watch for symptoms and get, at least, an annual checkup.
P.S. Your pets are also susceptible to heart disease - make sure they get a check-up, too.

In October 2022 The U.S. Postal Service announced a list and description of many of the stamps it will issue this year.
Our favorites, of course, are the LOVE stamps featuring a kitten and puppy with their front paws resting on a heart and with the word “LOVE” in all caps behind each animal.
