EXTREME HEAT ADVISORY!!

Many experts predict parts of the country will see warmer than usual weather over the next few months and proof of that may be the prolonged heat wave out west. Extreme heat is dangerous for us, as well as for your family pets. Below are steps to take to help ensure your pet stays safe this summer:

Never leave your pet in a hot vehicle, even for a few minutes. The inside temperature of the car can quickly reach 120 degrees even with the windows cracked open.
Limit exercise on hot days. Exercise in the early morning or evening hours.
Walk your pet in the grass if possible, to avoid hot surfaces burning their paws.
If your pet is outside, make sure they have access to shade and plenty of cool water.
Water safety is important for your furry friends. Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool—they aren’t all good swimmers
Watch your pets at a backyard barbecue. Keep them away from the grill and know that some food can be poisonous to them. Avoid raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate and products with artificial sweeteners.
Heat stroke is a common problem for pets in the warmer weather. Dogs with short noses or snouts, like the boxer or bulldog, are especially prone to heat stroke, along with overweight pets, those with extremely thick fur coat or any pet with upper respiratory problems such as laryngeal paralysis or collapsing trachea. Some of the signs of heat stroke in your pet are:
Heavy panting and unable to calm down, even when lying down
Brick red gum color
Fast pulse rate
Unable to get up
If you suspect your pet has heat stroke, take their temperature rectally.
If the temperature is above 105 degrees, cool the animal down. The easiest way to do this is by using the water hose. Stop cooling the animal when the temperature reaches 103 degrees.
Bring your pet to the veterinarian as soon as possible as heat stroke can lead to severe organ dysfunction and damage.
Open windows or doors are a temptation for pets to try to get outside. Keep all doors and unscreened windows closed, and make sure screens are tightly secured
Some plants in your garden can be hazardous to animals. Visit the Animal Poison Control Center to find out which plants and flowers are poisonous to animals.

This tick has been hanging around for us to show people for a while. After months in a sealed container with no additional feeding she laid eggs. This gives you an idea of how long a tick can be dormant and how many eggs one female can lay. Remember ticks bloom again in the fall so keep up with prevention.

Heat so hot this is on our minds, give it to Southern Illinois to go right into summer and skip spring..so please listen up it being hot means more water, shade, indoors, short walks in the grass. Doesn’t take much for these babies to have a heat stroke. Here is something we can all go by

In case you STILL don't have your dog on heartworm prevention.
This is what heartworms look like. Left untreated, (which is a lot more expensive than 10 years worth of that monthly pill) they cause your dog to die a slow, painful death.

ONE mosquito bite started this. ONE. Monthly heartworm prevention is necessary 12 months a year. It takes one infected mosquito bite to cause this. It can happen inside your house or on a 5 minute potty break.

Monthly prevention is the only way to stop this from happening!!
