As the weather warms up, please remember: a parked car can become an oven in minutes—even with the windows cracked.
On a 70°F day, your car can hit 100°F in just 20 minutes.
💥 Heatstroke happens fast, and it can be fatal.

🚨 Hot Car = Hot Danger! 🚨
Even with the windows cracked, your car can heat up fast—in just a few short minutes, it can be 20 degrees hotter inside than it is outside. That means even a "quick trip" can put your dog in serious danger of heatstroke or worse.

💔 If you can’t take your pup inside with you, it’s safer to leave them at home. Your dog would rather be safe at home than risk it all for a quick errand.

Let’s keep them cool, comfortable, and out of hot cars. 🐶❤️☀️

We get asked all the time... What is the best diet for my pet?

We recommend the brand Hills Science Diet. They offer a wide variety of food for your pet and prescription food. But for any patient we recommend a high protein diet until they are at least a year old or pregnant. And for patients older than that any adult food that is NOT GRAIN FREE!

If you have questions about your pets diet, send us a message and we'd be happy to help!
