Hey pet parents! Summer is here, bringing sunshine and outdoor fun, but it also brings potential dangers for our beloved furry friends. Let’s make sure we keep our pets safe and happy all season long. 🌞

🔸 Heatstroke Hazard:
Pets can overheat quickly. Ensure they have plenty of water and shade, and avoid strenuous activity during peak heat hours. Never leave them in a parked car, even for a short time.

🔸 Paw Protection:
Hot pavement can burn your pet’s paws. Walk them during cooler parts of the day and test the pavement with your hand. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them.

🔸 Water Safety:
Not all pets are natural swimmers. Supervise them around pools, lakes, and beaches. Invest in a pet life jacket if you plan on taking them boating.

🔸 Parasite Prevention:
Summer is peak season for fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes, which can transmit diseases. Keep your pet on a veterinarian-recommended parasite prevention program.

🔸 Barbecue Precautions:
Keep pets away from grills, charcoal, and lighter fluid. Watch out for bones, corn cobs, and other food scraps that can be harmful if ingested.

🔸 Fireworks and Storms:
Many pets are scared of loud noises. Keep them indoors during fireworks and thunderstorms, and create a safe, comforting space for them.

🔸 Travel Tips:
If you’re traveling with your pet, ensure they’re secure in the vehicle. Bring their favorite toys, regular food, and a familiar blanket to help them feel comfortable.

Let’s make this summer a season of fun and safety for our pets! 🐶🐱❤️

🌾🐾 Beware of Foxtail Season! 🐾🌾

Hey everyone! As the weather warms up, it's time to be extra vigilant with our furry friends. Foxtail season is here, and these pesky plants can cause serious issues for our pets. 🌿

🔸 What are foxtails?
Foxtails are grass-like weeds with barbed seed heads that can easily embed in your pet’s fur, paws, ears, nose, and even eyes.

🔸 Why are they dangerous?
Once embedded, foxtails can migrate through the body, causing infections, abscesses, and even requiring surgical removal. They can be life-threatening if left untreated.

🔸 How to protect your pets:
1. Avoid foxtail areas: Steer clear of fields and overgrown areas where foxtails are common.
2. Groom regularly: Keep your pet’s coat trimmed, especially around the paws, ears, and face.
3. Inspect after walks: Check your pet thoroughly after every walk, paying close attention to the feet, between toes, and inside ears.
4. Know the signs: Watch out for excessive licking, pawing, shaking the head, sneezing, swelling, or unusual behavior.

🔸 What to do if you suspect a foxtail problem:
Don’t wait! If you think your pet has a foxtail lodged somewhere, contact Los Altos Veterinary Clinic immediately. Early intervention can prevent serious complications.

Let’s keep our pets safe and enjoy a happy, healthy season! 🐶🐱💚

Your pet's golden years require special care, and your veterinarian will recommend certain screenings. These tests enable your doctors to provide early diagnoses for common diseases affecting older pets so they can be managed more effectively. Our Los Altos doctors recommend twice-yearly exams to ensure your pet receives the best care as they age.

Senior pets are typically more prone to the following conditions than younger pets:

- Joint or bone disorders
- Cancer
- Heart Disease
- Blindness and hearing loss
- Liver disease
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Urinary tract disease

Contact Los Altos Veterinary Clinic today learn more or book your senior pet’s wellness exam!
