Looking for a summer fruit that’s safe to share? πŸ‰ πŸ‰ πŸ‰

Watermelon is 92% water so it’s a great treat to help keep your pet hydrated. It also has low calories, no fat or cholesterol, and is high in potassium and vitamins A, B6, and C. But be sure to remove the seeds and rind!

Try freezing small chunks of watermelon to make an extra special treat for a hot day! πŸ‰ πŸ‰ πŸ‰

Tomatoes are a popular garden crop this time of year. However, green tomatoes contain solanine which can put our pets at risk. πŸ… In most cases, we can see gastrointestinal irritation even with a small amount ingested.

Symptoms with larger ingestions can include: vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, confusion, dilated pupils, depression, and increased heart rate.

If you suspect your pet has consumed green tomatoes, immediately contact SAVES at (603) 306-0007. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435

07/20/2024

With summer weather upon us, it’s important to keep your pet well-hydrated! Generally, your pet should drink about one ounce of water for each pound of body weight. That may need to increase by 3-4x depending on their exposure to heat, activity levels, and diet.

Encourage your pet to drink more water by:
πŸ’§ Always supplying fresh water
πŸ’§ Clean the water bowl daily
πŸ’§ For pets that prefer running water, try a pet fountain
πŸ’§ Add wet food or more raw fruits and vegetables to their diet (just double-check that they are safe for your pet to consume)

Your pet may be dehydrated if they’re experiencing loss of appetite, reduced energy, lethargy, panting, dry eyes, nose, or gums, or loss of skin elasticity.

If your pet experiences dehydration, contact SAVES at (603) 306-0007.

Heading off to the pool or beach this summer with your furry friend? Check out these water safety tips to make sure your pet has fun while staying safe. β˜€οΈ

πŸ”Ή Pick a shallow spot to start out and stay close to the edge of the water.
πŸ”Ή Don’t force them. Throwing a pet in the water who doesn’t want to swim can be traumatic and may prevent them from enjoying the water later on.
πŸ”Ή Get in the water with them. When they start paddling with their front paws, lift their hind end so they understand how to float.
πŸ”Ή Keep them on a leash at first so they can’t stray too far away from you.

🌑 Also, be sure to stay aware of the temperature! While swimming may cool you and your pet down, hot sand or pavement poses a threat to your pet's paws. If you can't hold the back of your hand to the ground for at least 10 seconds without feeling a burn, it's too hot for your pet to walk on!

If you experience an emergency with your pet this summer contact SAVES at (603) 306-0007.

At SAVES we want to ensure your pet stays cool and comfortable during the warmer months.
Heat stroke can sneak up on our canine friends, especially during outdoor adventures or even just lounging in the backyard. Signs of heat stroke include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, and vomiting. It's a serious condition that requires immediate attention.

Here are some tips to keep your dog safe and cool:
1. Limit Outdoor Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day. Opt for early morning or late evening walks when temperatures are cooler.
2. Provide Shade and Water: Ensure your pup has access to plenty of shade and fresh water, whether indoors or outdoors. A cool, shady spot can make all the difference.
3. Know the Signs: Familiarize yourself with the signs of heat stroke and act quickly if you suspect your dog is overheating. Seek veterinary care immediately.
4. Cooling Techniques: Use cool (not cold) water to dampen your dog's fur or offer a wet towel for them to lay on. You can also use fans or air conditioning to help lower their body temperature.

Prevention and awareness are key in protecting our furry family members from heat-related illnesses. If you have any concerns about your pet's well-being in the heat, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Let's ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for our canine companions! 🐾

🐾 Exciting News! 🐾
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Wells to our team!

Born and raised in a small town in Alaska, Dr. Wells moved to California as a teenager. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Arizona and went on to vet school in Canada, later transferring to North Carolina State University, where she graduated in 2009.

Dr. Wells brings a wealth of experience to our practice, having worked in ER, general practice, and shelter medicine across Delaware, Philly, New Jersey, and NYC before finding her dream home in Vermont. She joins us after working for ASPCA Poison Control as a Senior Consulting Veterinarian in Clinical Toxicology. Dr. Wells is board-eligible in Toxicology and is also trained in canine acupuncture.

When she's not in the clinic, you'll find her enjoying a good book with her pets or tending to her garden, chickens, and donkeys. Join us in giving Dr. Wells a warm welcome!

Patient Success Story: Moose's Road to Recovery 🐾

We are thrilled to share the story of Moose, a brave pup who overcame a serious case of water intoxication. Moose was brought to the Emergency Department at SAVES after ingesting a large amount of salt water from a pool and overexerting himself on a warm day.

Moose was in critical condition, showing signs of shock and minimal responsiveness. Our team quickly acted by providing intravenous fluids, anti-nausea medication, and close electrolyte monitoring. His initial diagnostics revealed a significant decrease in sodium and potassium levels due to water dilution and elevated lactate levels from poor circulation.

Thanks to the dedicated care from our veterinary team, Moose responded well to treatment. He is now at home resting and getting back to his normal, happy self. We're happy to report that Moose is on the path to a full recovery.

If you suspect your pet has ingested too much water, especially during the warmer months, please seek immediate veterinary care. Early intervention can make all the difference.

For any concerns or further advice, please call us at SAVES: (603) 306-0007.

With summer in full swing, remember the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars. At SAVES, we're here to ensure the safety and well-being of your furry family members.

Even on relatively mild days, the inside of a parked car can quickly become dangerously hot, putting pets at risk of heat stroke and even death. Here's what you can do to keep your pet safe:

1. Never Leave Pets Unattended: Even for a few minutes, never leave your pet alone in a parked car. The temperature inside can skyrocket in a matter of minutes.
2. Plan Ahead: If you're running errands, leave your pet at home where they'll be safe and comfortable.
3. Spread Awareness: Educate friends and family about the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars. It takes a community to keep our pets safe.

Let's work together to keep pets out of hot cars and ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for all. If you have any concerns about your pet's well-being, don't hesitate to contact us for guidance. πŸΎβ˜€οΈ

🌊🐢 Beware of Water Intoxication in Dogs 🐢🌊

Summer is the perfect time for dogs to enjoy water activities, but it's important to be aware of the risks of water intoxication. While playing in the pool, lake, or even with a garden hose, excessive water intake can pose serious health threats, particularly for smaller breeds.

What to Do: If your dog shows any signs of water intoxication, it's crucial to get veterinary help immediately. Treatment typically involves replenishing essential electrolytes to restore balance.

Keep your pets safe and enjoy the water responsibly. Remember, moderation is key to preventing water intoxication. Stay alert and have a fun summer with your furry friends!

Call SAVES if you suspect your pet is experiencing water intoxication. We have the tools and expertise needed to help them get back to feeling their best.

πŸ”₯🐾 Hot Asphalt Alert: Protect Your Pup's Paws! 🐾πŸ”₯

As temperatures soar, remember that hot asphalt can pose a serious risk to your furry friend's paws.

Walking on hot pavement can lead to painful burns and blisters on your dog's paw pads. Here's what you can do to keep them safe:

1. Test the Pavement: Before heading out, place the back of your hand on the pavement. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws.

2. Opt for Cooler Times: Schedule walks during cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening, to avoid hot pavement.

3. Protective Measures: Consider using protective booties to shield your pup's paws from the heat.

4. Stay in the Grass: Whenever possible, walk your dog on grassy areas or shaded paths to minimize contact with hot surfaces.

5. Hydrate and Rest: Bring along water for your dog to drink and take breaks in the shade to prevent overheating.

By staying vigilant and taking these precautions, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for your furry companion.

Let's keep those paws cool and happy! 🐢❀️
