Do I really have to post this? Y'all probably know what is good and not good by now, right?
Our dogs say "steak" is acceptable as well :D

I always ask for a re- scan each year to check for the chip.

This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spec? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg....far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders. This is actually quite common.....

When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.

Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet.... just have it checked regularly!

Is there ever enough time 💔? I think not.

Last night, this sweet boy earned his wings 🕊️.

Despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on earth would never be enough, for those who loved him. When we asked Leonel what his recipe was for Bobi’s exceptionally long life, his response was swift: “Good nutrition, constant contact with nature, freedom to discover his environment, consistent veterinary care, and love. Bobi knows he’s deeply loved.”

Godspeed, Bobi…you’ve taught the world all you were mean’t to teach 🐾❤️‍🔥🌈.

Credit to FOX4 viewer Doug Halladay. You should all look at this and know why it's NOT OK to walk the dogs in a Texas summer afternoon! 🦮
He measured this in 4 places at same time when it was 100°
Air Temp =100°
Concrete=130°
Blend= 143°
Asphalt= 164°

This is why we say NOT to walk them when it's over 95° out. And never on Asphalt over 90°. The numbers are crazy and will cause burns on their pads.

With expected temps of 105° next week 🥵, we're heading into some miserable weather! Mansfield Animal Care and Control has put together some pet safety tips for making it through a Texas summer. Remember to keep your pet hydrated, take walks early to avoid hot sidewalks, do not leave any pets in the car while it's turned off, and for those pets that do live outside, make sure they have a way to get out of the sun. Most importantly, make sure you know the signs of heat exhaustion and call the shelter at 817-276-4799 if you think an animal is in distress. Some of the main signs of heat exhaustion are heavy panting, lethargy, and the pet can vomit or have seizures.
