🌞🐾 Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer! 🐾🌞

The summer heat can be tough on our furry friends. Here are some essential tips to ensure your pets stay cool and comfortable during the hot months:

1. 💧Hydration is Key!
- Always provide fresh, clean water. Consider adding ice cubes for an extra chill.

2. 🏡 Shade & Shelter
- Ensure your pets have access to shady spots, whether it's under a tree, a porch, or a pet-friendly umbrella.

3. 🚶‍♂️Avoid Midday Walks
- Walk your dogs early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler. Hot pavement can burn their paws!

4. ❄️ Cooling Mats & Wet Towels - Use cooling mats or damp towels for your pets to lie on. You can also fill a small kiddie pool with cool water for a refreshing splash.

5. 🚗 Never Leave Pets in Cars
- Even with the windows cracked, temperatures inside a car can soar within minutes. Always take your pets with you.

6. 🚨 Watch for Signs of Heatstroke
- Symptoms include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, and vomiting. If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a cool area and contact a vet immediately.

7. ✂️ Grooming & Trimming
- Regular grooming helps prevent overheating. For some breeds, a trim can keep them cooler, but consult your vet or groomer for the best advice.

8. 🏠 Indoor Playtime
- On particularly hot days, engage your pets with indoor activities to keep them entertained and out of the heat.

Keep your pets safe and cool this summer so you can enjoy the sunny days together! ☀️❤️

🐾✨ May is Chip Your Pet Month! ✨🐾

Hey pet parents! Did you know that this month is all about keeping our furry friends safe and sound? 🐶🐱 It's the perfect time to talk about why microchipping is a must for your beloved pets.

Why microchip? Here’s why:
🟠Permanent ID: Collars can break or fall off; a microchip is a permanent solution that stays with your pet for life.
🟣Quick Recovery: If your pet ever gets lost, a microchip increases the chances they'll be returned to you safely. Shelters and vets can scan lost pets and quickly retrieve your contact information.
🟢Peace of Mind: Knowing your pet can be easily identified relieves a lot of stress if they ever wander off.
🔵Simple & Safe: The procedure is quick, simple, and as safe as a routine vaccination.

For the month of May we are offering a special on Microchip services, if your pet is not Microchipped we are doing $20 Microchips and are extending this to non clients as well. If you know someone who does not have their pet microchipped they can give us a call or stop by. *While supplies last*

Let’s keep our pets safe and give ourselves peace of mind. Spread the word and make sure your furry family members are chipped and checked! 🌍💚

🚨🐾 Today is National Parvo Awareness Day! 🐾🚨

Parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that can be devastating for our furry friends, especially puppies. It attacks the gastrointestinal system and can lead to severe illness and even be fatal if not treated promptly.

Here’s how you can protect your pet:
✅ Vaccinate: Keep up with vaccinations from an early age.
✅ Limit Exposure: Avoid dog parks or communal areas until your puppy is fully vaccinated.
✅ Cleanliness: Regularly disinfect any areas where dogs frequent.
✅ Immediate Care: Seek veterinary attention at the first sign of illness.

Let's spread the word, not the virus! 🐶❤️
Share this message and help educate pet owners about the importance of prevention and early detection.
