How hot does a car get & how quick!?
We wanted to add something in addition to our previous heat exhaustion/heat stroke post. Many people underestimate the short time it takes to create an actual oven in your vehicle even with windows open. A friend of mine tracked the heat increasing in her car yesterday. Temp outside was 85°. Her video shows in 15 minute intervals. These temps are something EVERYONE with a pet, planning on traveling must see! Please, please share far & wide to help us educate pet owners.
Please keep in mind that air conditioning can fail in a split second without you realizing it until you get back. And again, know your vehicles settings... Will it automatically shut off when it's left in idle? Mine does. I have to manually shut that setting OFF every time I start my car & yes, I've forgotten a few times - thanks to "Post Its" I have on my door handle to remind me, I've realized it before I left my car.
If leaving your pet in your air conditioner car, please make sure to check on them often!!
You may have noticed that we often play videos in our exam rooms. Our hope is to entertain & educate our owners on everything pet related. And sometimes we find that the pets actually watch as well! Take "Hope" for instance... Who knew a chicken would enjoy watching a video of one of our techs & her dog playing tic-tac- toe on the screen!? Turn up the volume in the beginning... She had a few things to say 🤣

It's Christmas Eve & I wanted to try a new Christmas recipe for my pups Kong... This one is called "Christmas Apple Pie". Probably the simplest recipe ever!! It's frozen apple pieces 1/2 way, then add a few of his dry kibble & then fill up the rest of the Kong with whip cream. I think Castiel approves 🐾♥️💚
