Our “landscaper” (aka Dr Leestma) has been adding plants weekly. Things are blooming and attracting fun butterflies and bees! Check them out when you can. She even had a little helper this weekend. 😍 Thanks to Gripon Gardens at Lynn's for the quality plants and soil!

Heatstroke is no joke! Tips to keep your dog cool.

Summer heat is here, and you can bet our dogs are feeling it more than we are. Not only are they covered in fur, they can sweat only through the pads of their paws.

If the heat ever becomes more than our dog friends can handle, they develop heatstroke, a life-threatening condition that requires emergency treatment.

So let’s make sure our dogs always keep their cool, even if the unexpected occurs, like a power failure that stops the air conditioning or a jammed dog door that traps the dog out in the heat. Help your dog avoid overheating by following these simple precautions:

*Never leave your dog in the car! Interior car temperatures rise very quickly, even on mild days.
*Hydration is key. Carry water for your dog on all your hikes and outings. If your dog has access to the outdoors at home, plenty of fresh water should always be available outside as well as inside.
*Avoid the heat of the day. Save your outdoor exercise for the cooler morning and evening hours.
*Avoid bringing your dog to parades or crowded gatherings. Many larger events prohibit canine participation since there are a number of risks to pets, such as noise and heat. It is best to have your dog stay home for the big party and look for a smaller, quieter event in a cooler location to attend with them instead (and away from hot pavement).
*Be ready to take a break. Give your dog a chance to lie down and cool off on walks, hikes and runs as often as they need.
*Shade your backyard. Your dog should always have a way to escape the summer sun when outdoors. Trees, canopies or table umbrellas can all do the trick. A doghouse, however, isn’t a good option, since they tend to trap heat. Remember that the sun travels through the day, so be sure to plan accordingly.
*Never tie up your dog outside! A leash or rope can get tangled, preventing your dog from reaching water and shade.
*Buffer your home from the heat. Keep your dog comfortable and your energy bill down by closing blinds and curtains during the day.
*Avoid stuffy spaces. Wherever your dog spends the most time in the house should be well ventilated. A floor or ceiling fan can also improve airflow.
*Protect paws. Man-made materials, like asphalt, wood and even artificial turf, can all get extremely hot. Your dog should have a soft and cool substance, such as soil or natural grass, to lie on outside.
*Groom for summer. Help your dog shed extra hair with a summer grooming routine.

These simple steps will let you rest easy knowing your best buddy is comfortable no matter what.

***Note from VCA at Calder***

Feeder Road Closure Leading to Our Hospital
Due to the ongoing road construction, they will be closing the feeder road that is right in front of our hospital starting on May 24 at 9 p.m. and again on May 25 at 9 p.m.
There will be a police officer stationed at Link Road and I45 North to help direct traffic. If any of your clients need to bring their pets to us, they will be stopped by the officer at that location and they just need to let the officer know they are coming to our hospital.
Please feel free to email us or give us a call if you have any questions regarding the road closure or need assistance with anything else.
Sincerely,
