And it felt so much hotter! This was the temperature reading from the van while we were out seeing appointments last Wednesday. PLEASE be careful with your dogs outside!

I took our little dog out with us for some errands the next day. How did I prep for him to be safe and comfortable during these trips?

đŸŸ Never left him in the car alone or without a/c. Not even for 2 minutes with a window rolled down. It’s still too hot!

đŸŸ He only spent a few minutes outside, from the car to the store, where he’d be in the direct sun at the hottest time of the time. We went to hardware stores that allow pets.

đŸŸ Parking lot surfaces are hot as the sun. Yes, dogs’ feet have thicker layers but it still burns đŸ”„. Before I let him touch the ground, I put my hand (palm and back of my hand) on the ground to feel the temperature. When it was hot to my hand, his little paws didn’t touch the ground. I carried him (easy to do with a 13lb dog 😜) either directly into the store or to a shaded grassy or mulched area to do his business.

đŸŸ We brought plenty of extra water and a bowl for him. We offered him water inside the stores plus before and after leaving the stores. You never know when they’ll want to drink (and you can’t force them no matter how many times you tell them to). Just because they didn’t take a drink right away, doesn’t mean they wont need it 10 minutes later. Dont wait 2 hours. Keep offering water at regular intervals until they get a good drink and then you can back off some. Haven’t you ever not needed a glass of water but then 20 minutes later after being in the heat, downed like half a water bottle?

đŸŸ Pay attention to your dog. Panting can be from heat, stress, pain, etc. They are telling you something. Listen.

Our little dude had a great time socializing and meeting new people at the stores. There is a safe way to have your dogs with you during the summer. ☀

If you suspect your dog overheated, please seek veterinary care immediately. This is a life threatening emergency!

This guy was so good today!! When I first met Carson, he did not want to sit still for five seconds let alone the time it takes for a treatment. With each appointment, he has sat more comfortably for longer periods of time! Today he even tolerated for 15 minutes in addition to time. He is a CHAMP!

Carson getting some acupuncture! This was his fourth treatment and his owners say he is walking better, not falling down on his back legs and having less accidents in the house. Due to a deformity in his back, he has trouble with his hind end control and has been incontinent for some time. Carson is a fire đŸ”„ personality/constitution which means he is very energetic and happy to see you every time 🐕 . This also means he doesn’t want to sit still 😛. Slow and steady wins this race for this guy because he kept his needles in for a record long 20 minutes today!! Totally awesome, YAY Carson!

Always trying to provide the best care for our patients, Dr. Maines is really excited to begin studying for the Animal Hospice and Palliative Certification Program, . This is the only certification program for hospice and palliative care providers in . Dr. Maines has been a member of the , International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care organization for a while now and can’t wait to join the ranks of other amazing, compassionate veterinarians, already doing this incredible work. Animals deserve our best and we want to be apart of their journey, even the difficult times.

Certification takes time and a lot of dedicated work but Dr. Maines is eager to expand her knowledge of this area so she can provide the best care for ailing patients. Geriatric and hospice pets are her favorite patients (no offense to puppies and kittens đŸ± đŸ¶ 😉). She says, “there is something very comforting and understanding about an older patient. They don’t ask for much, just to be with us”.

We look forward to helping you and your furry family member.

can be used for many different ailments. As hospice and palliative care providers, we most often use it with for our older patients with joint pain. However, laser treatment can be beneficial for any painful condition or to improve healing. Here we are treating a patient who broke his toe nail a while ago but it has resulted in a nail bed infection. We used the blue light setting to jump start treating the infection and red light for inflammation and pain. Laser therapy isn’t the only treatment this guy will receive but it’s another tool we use to provide the best care for our patients.

Making House Calls

We are a house call veterinary service providing personalized annual wellness and end of life care for dogs and cats in their own home. It can be difficult for people and pets, for many reasons, to go to a veterinary clinic. Busy schedules and family life can make that annual vet appointment hard to keep. Maybe your pet gets car sick or has mobility issues and traveling is physically or emotionally hard on them. A house call vet is also ideal for multi-pet households. If you’re anything like our vet, Dr. Maines (she has 5 pets), you have too many animals to take them all at once to the clinic and have to schedule multiple trips. We will bring the care to you so you don’t even have to leave the house! Give us a call, 904-414-4242, or visit our website, YourHomeVetJax.com, to find out more.
