It's the first day of summer and with the start of summer comes hotter days. On a warm day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast. Please make sure you aren’t taking your animals anywhere that will require them to be in the car alone during the hot summer months.

Pets can be curious and sometimes that curiosity can lead to a sudden sting from a wasp, bee or fire ant! Stay vigilant and help your pet try to avoid areas that these insects frequent.

As the weather warms up so does the chance that your dog may bring home ticks.

Not sure if your pet is protected? Give us a call to discuss a preventative product to use year-round as a first line of defense against tick-borne diseases.

If your dog has a tick, you may feel a bump that's as small as a pinhead or as large as a pea, depending on how long it has been feeding on your dog.

It's International Corgi Day. These cute little fluff balls are beloved, pint-sized pups with big personalities and even bigger hearts. Here are five fun facts that will make you smile—and maybe want to hug a corgi today!

🐶 1. There Are Two Breeds of Corgis
The two official corgi breeds are the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Pembrokes are the more common of the two and are known for their lack of tails, while Cardigans have a full, bushy tail. Both are equally adorable!

👑 2. They’re Royal Favorites
Corgis are famously associated with Queen Elizabeth II, who received her first corgi, Dookie, in 1933. She owned over 30 corgis during her reign, and they were often spotted trotting happily beside her at royal events.

🐾 3. Corgis Are Herding Dogs
Despite their short stature, corgis were bred to herd cattle in Wales. Their low build helped them dodge kicks from livestock, and they’re still full of that same bold, energetic spirit today!

😂 4. They Have the Cutest Wiggle
Thanks to their long bodies and short legs, corgis are known for their distinctive, comical wiggle when they walk—or run. It’s part of what makes them so irresistible on social media.

💗 5. Big Brains in Small Bodies
Corgis aren’t just cute—they’re highly intelligent and eager to learn. They thrive on mental stimulation and are quick to pick up tricks, making them fantastic companions for training and agility.

Celebrate today by giving a corgi some belly rubs, share your favorite corgi meme, or just take a moment to appreciate the quirky charm of this beloved breed!
