🎆 Fourth of July is just around the corner! 🎆 Firework anxiety is common in pets! There are some things you can do to try and help them feel more comfortable during the fireworks:

🎇 Reassure your pet it's okay with a normal amount of petting and talking in a calm voice. Too much coddling will actually make your pet feel more anxious.

🎇 Safe space: If your pet wants to hide under the bed, in a closet, bedroom or dog crate then let them. If they feel safe in that spot than that is okay. Keeping the area they are in dark so they cannot see flashes of light helps.

🎇 Thundershirt: You can purchase a Thundershirt from pet stores or online. If you do not have access to a Thundershirt, you can mimic one with a T-shirt or ace bandage wrap (https://www.k9ofmine.com/diy-thundershirt/). Other anxiety reducing products include the Storm Defender Cape, Happy Hoodie and Mutt Muffs.

🎇 Calming music can help drown out the sounds of the fireworks and help calm your pet (https://www.amazon.com/Through-Dogs-Ear-Canine-Companion/dp/1591796423).

🎇 Pheromones like Adaptil collar or spray can help relax dogs in anxiety inducing situations.

🎇 Prescription medications: Give us a call for recommendations for prescription medications your pet can be given for firework anxiety.

☀️This summer☀️ we encourage everyone to practice heat safety for themselves AND their pets!

Heat can be incredibly dangerous for dogs. If they are panting hard, drooling excessively or losing coordination there is a chance your dog is going into heat stroke. Immediately bring your dog inside the air conditioning, pour cool (not ice cold) water over them and take them directly to an emergency veterinary clinic. Heat stroke can be fatal and can come on very quickly, so it’s best not to take chances.

Here are some basic tips to prevent heat stroke:

🐾Give your dog plenty of water before and after walks.

🐾Walk your dog on the grass, not the pavement, to prevent your dog’s paws from burning.

🐾Check the outside temperature before heading out. If it’s 80 degrees or more out, it’s probably best to leave them at home.

🐾Before taking your dog anywhere in the car, let the air conditioning run for a few minutes to cool down the car.
🐾NEVER leave your dog in the car without the air conditioning running for ANY length of time.

🐾🐕You might be wondering: can my dog eat cicadas without getting sick? 🤢

If your dog eats too many cicadas, they may experience stomach issues as well as vomiting, diarrhea,food bloat or inappetence.
That being said, you shouldn't encourage them to eat the insects, and you should prevent this from happening when possible.

🐾If your dog eats a ton of cicadas, or just a few, and has any of the above symptoms, you should take him or her to the vet immediately. 👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👩🏼‍⚕️🐾🐕

🌝🌔🌗🌘🌒🌘🌑🌚 Happy Eclipse Day!!

Who’s ready to watch the Solar Eclipse today?!?!
As we all are excited to watch it, here are a few tips and tricks to help ensure our furry friends have the best positive experience as well.

🌝🐾 keep your Pets indoors during the Eclipse to prevent them from staring directly at the sun. Make them as comfortable as possible. Making a safe and calm space can ensure both you and them during this event.

🌝🐾 after the Eclipse be mindful of your surroundings. A lot of changes and extra noises may go on before, during and after so be extra cautious with bring them back outside🐾🌚

🏆🐾Our Employee Spotlights some of our talented and trusted team members.

April’s Spotlight goes to Kathleen! With 25 years under her belt in Vet Medicine, within that time, she has worked 16 years beside Dr. Lawrence. Kathleen started at an early age working with her late father Dr. Coffeen D.V.M. doing kennel work gaining all the experience she could.

Kathleen is truly an asset to our clinic. If she’s not assisting with surgery, doing tech appointments, she’s managing all our administrative responsibilities at the clinic.

During her spare time you can catch her with a camera doing photography. She also enjoys family time and as many beach trips she can get in! 🌅 🏝️

The dedication and loyalty Kathleen gives everyday does not go without notice and for that, thank you! We are grateful to have her on our team. 💜🐾

Let’s congratulate Kathleen for her hard work and commitment🐾🐶🐱🐾
