Our hot August nights are just getting started. This is a friendly reminder about the heat with your pets. Please watch for signs of having issues with the heat. Make sure the house/car are cool, plenty of water, if outside on concrete make sure there are plenty of areas for shade, & feel the concrete. If the concrete is too hot for you it’s too hot for their paws. 🐾 🐶❤️🐾🐈‍⬛

A study published on Nature this month has revealed that dogs can detect human stress through smell, hugely impacting their emotions and behaviors.
Researchers from the University of Bristol found that the scent of stress from humans led dogs to make more pessimistic decisions, indicating a strong emotional contagion between species.
The experiment involved exposing dogs to sweat samples from stressed and non-stressed owners.
The results showed that dogs, when exposed to the scent of stressed humans, were less likely to approach a treat-filled bowl, among other things.

“Why I shouldnt walk and run beside you today. Because I am a loyal dog, I often go beyond my limits. So I walk and run beside you, standing still if I have to. All while I feel my paws burning. Even as little as 5 minutes can be fatal to me and to my paws. My whole body starts boiling, but I’ll keep going because I am as loyal as loyal comes. I depend on you to know what’s in my best interest. So instead, let me stay at home where I can enjoy the sun, with a large bowl of water, somewhere in the shade. A cool area with grass would be best. With all the love I have in the whole world - I give it all to you - Love your dog 🩷🐾 “

Just a little letter from our furry friends to think of their safety as well as yours during our hot days.

Another bat has tested positive for rabies in the Toro Park area this year, making it the second case in three months.

The first case was on April 2 in the Salinas area of Toro Park, when an owned pet was exposed to the infected bat. No human was exposed to the pet, and it was placed under quarantine.

This latest case was reported on June 7 near Portola and Anza Drive in an unincorporated area of Monterey County. After an investigation, Hitchcock Road Animal Services said there was no exposure to either humans or pets.

The County of Monterey Public Health Bureau and Animal Services wants to remind residents and visitors that there is a continuous presence of rabies in local wildlife and that skunks and bats are the most common animals to test positive for the virus.

Officials also warn that domestic animals including companion dogs and cats are at higher risk for rabies once they come in contact with wildlife. And that pet owners should keep up to date with rabies vaccinations and visit their local veterinarian on a regular basis.

Another instance of a bat testing positive for rabies in the Toro Park area was in June of 2023.

This sweet girl is still looking… so loving and snuggly!!

Introducing the coolest, most powerful, & fastest roller derby girl out there. This is 4 year old Jada. Jada came to us as she was paralyzed from the waist down. The owners believe that she jumped from the couch & hurt her lower back so bad that she lost feeling in her legs. As Jada’s owners tried treatment after treatment, she wasn’t getting better but she still had a smile on her face. Her owners were able to purchase a wheelchair for her & as you can see, she is living life to the fullest again. We are SOO happy to see Jada living her best life & that her owners were able to give her this gift❣️

Does your little dog do this? It seems scary when it happens and definitely scared Chippy. It’s a reverse sneeze and massaging the throat during an episode can help. It happens for several reasons- all that affect the dog palate- long soft palate allergies, airway inflammation. If it happens too frequently discuss with your veterinarian the best next steps #reversesneeze #chihuahuasofinstagram #vetmed #sleepysaturday

It is #nationalwalkyourdogmonth Dogs need plenty of exercise and the best to way to keep them active in winter is going for regular walks. Even a short walk on a cold day makes a big difference and it’s healthy for the humans too! #walkyourdog #exercise #veterinary #toroparkanimalhospital
