🌟🐾 4th of July Pet Safety Tips 🐾🌟

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a great start to the week! As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, let's make sure our furry friends stay safe and comfortable during the festivities. Here are some essential tips to keep your pets happy and healthy this 4th of July:

🎆 Keep Pets Indoors: Fireworks can be incredibly stressful for pets. Keep them inside where it’s quieter and more secure.

🐶 Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy, quiet area with their favorite toys, blankets, and treats. Consider playing calming music to drown out the noise.

🆔 Ensure Identification: Make sure your pets are wearing up-to-date ID tags and that their microchip information is current. This can be crucial if they get scared and run off.

🥩 Avoid Table Scraps: BBQs are fun, but many human foods can be harmful to pets. Keep them away from chocolate, alcohol, bones, corn cobs and other dangerous foods. (See our previous post about BBQ safety)

🔥 Beware of BBQs and Fireworks: Keep pets away from grills, fireworks, and sparklers to prevent burns or ingestion of toxic substances.

🚶 Exercise Early: Give your pets a good workout earlier in the day. A tired pet is more likely to rest and stay calm during the fireworks.

👀 Stay Vigilant: Keep an eye on your pets for any signs of distress. If they seem unusually anxious, consult with your vet for ideas and to discuss medication to help if your pet suffers from extreme anxiety!

⏳**If you think your pet(s) might be in need of medication, make sure to call us early so we can have a good plan and get it ready in time for you!**⌛️

Let's ensure a safe and happy 4th of July for everyone, including our beloved pets! 🐱🐶💖

**Keep Your Dogs Safe During BBQ Season! 🍔🌭🐶**

Happy First Day of Summer everyone! As BBQ season heats up, it's important to remember our furry friends and keep them safe. Here are some essential tips to ensure your dog enjoys the festivities without any risks:

1. **Keep Food Out of Reach**: 🧅🧄🍇
Foods like onions, garlic, chocolate, and anything spicy or fatty can be harmful to dogs. Also, avoid raisins, grapes, and products with artificial sweeteners as those are poisonous to our pet(s).
Securely store food to prevent curious noses from getting into trouble, especially corn cobs🌽 as those can become lodged resulting in emergency surgery!

2. **No Bones About It**: 🍗🍖🦴
Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious internal injuries. Stick to dog-friendly treats instead.

3. **Avoid Alcohol**: 🍻🍷🍾
Even small amounts of alcohol can be toxic to dogs. Ensure drinks are placed out of reach and guests are aware not to share.

4. **Safe Grilling Area**: 🌭🍔
Keep your dog away from the grill. Hot surfaces and charcoal can cause burns or be ingested, leading to choking or internal damage.

5. **Trash Control**:
Dispose of leftovers and trash in a secure bin. Dogs are notorious for dumpster diving, and ingesting something harmful (like a corn cob) can lead to an emergency vet visit.

6. **Watch the Decorations**: 🎉
Strings, balloons, and other festive items can be choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if swallowed.

7. **Hydration is Essential**: 💧💧💧
Ensure your dog has access to fresh water at all times, especially on hot days. (see our previous post on heatstroke)

8. **Provide a Safe Space**: 🏠
With all the excitement, some dogs might get overwhelmed. Create a quiet, safe space where they can retreat if they need a break from the crowd.

9. **Supervision is Key**: 👀
Always keep an eye on your dog during the BBQ to ensure they stay out of harm's way and don't sn**ch any forbidden snacks.

Wishing a fun and safe BBQ season for everyone, including your four-legged family members! 🐾

🔥The Heatwave is Here! 🔥

If you can't take this heat, neither can your family pets! Extreme heat is not only dangerous for us, but for them as well. Overheating can result in a life-threatening emergency called heatstroke, (caused by prolonged exposure to hot or humid environments), which can lead to severe organ dysfunction and damage and even death in our furry friends.

Many experts are predicting a heatwave with temperatures expected to remain in the 90's and feeling more like 100 degrees with the humidity for most of this week. It is important to keep your pet(s) safe when these temperatures climb!

All these tips are especially important for short nose dogs or older dogs who may have trouble regulating their temperature.

1. NEVER leave your pet in a hot vehicle - EVER - Even for a few minutes. The inside temperature of the car can quickly reach 120 degrees even with the windows cracked open. 🚫 🚙

2. Limit exercise on hot days. Exercise in the early morning or evening hours and make sure to adjust the intensity and duration of exercise on hot days. 🚷

3. Walk your pet in the grass if possible, to avoid any hot surfaces burning their paws. You wouldn’t walk barefoot on the hot ground-Don’t make your dog suffer through it! 🐾

4. If your pet is outside, make sure you provide ample shade and have access to plenty of fresh, cool water. Shade from a tree is best as a doghouse does not provide relief from heat—in fact, it makes it worse. In heat waves, add ice to water when possible and make sure it stays cool as it can heat up fast! 🌳💦

5. Watch the humidity! High humidity amplifies the impact of high temperature on your pet. These humid conditions hamper our pets ability to cool themselves, and their body temperature can skyrocket very quickly—to dangerous, or even lethal levels. ❌

6. Keep them cool with some cooling products! Don't rely on a fan to keep them cool as fans don't cool off pets as they do us. This is because pets respond differently to heat than humans do. Dogs, for instance, sweat primarily through their feet. Try to keep them in cooler areas of your home during the hotter days or check out cooling mats and vests for your pet(s). 😎🆒

⚠️While the above are hopefully some helpful tips, here are signs of heatstroke:⚠️

‼️‼️ Heavy panting and unable to calm down-even when lying down, glazed over eyes, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizures and unconsciousness. ‼️‼️

🐾If you suspect your pet has heat stroke, try these helpful steps:🐾

1. Your first step is to get them out of the sun immediately. Move your pet to a shady or air-conditioned area. If you're in a car, turn on the air conditioning.

2. Cool your pet down by putting cool water on their chest, armpit areas and paws. Remember to use cool to lukewarm water to avoid the risk of shock. Unlike humans who sweat to cool down, dogs release heat through their paw pads; so make sure their paws are uncovered, and if available, apply rubbing alcohol to their paw pads. You can also try placing them in a bathtub of cool water. Again, not cold as it will shock their system.

3. Take their temperature if you can. A re**al temperature above 103°F can indicate heatstroke. If the temperature is above 105 degrees, cool your pet down by the methods listed above and seek veterinary care immediately.

4. Give your pet small amounts of cool or room temperature water every few minutes, but don't force them to drink.

5. Seek veterinary care.

Stay safe and aware while out there everyone!

🔜 THE CICADAS ARE EMERGING! 🔜
Don't worry too much though - besides the pesky nuisance of having these periodical visitors, Cicadas do not bite or sting, nor are they toxic to pets! Also, they are not known to carry any diseases, so any encounters are generally safe.

❗️HOWEVER ❗️ while they are non-toxic, gastrointestinal upset can happen if your pet consumes too many cicadas, or more worrisome, the insects discarded 'shells' (exoskeletons).

➡️All in all, consumption of the insect is not encouraged so make sure to monitor your pet(s) while outdoors. If your pet is a good scavenger and can't resist the temptations, give us a call at 630-393-1131 if they seem sick! 🤢

👀Watch for 👀
Vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or excessive drooling and seek veterinary care if any of these symptoms occur.

➡️Last but not least, the constant (almost deafening 🙉) buzzing noise, size and movements of cicadas may be a little scary and bothersome to some pets. If you notice your pet is having anxiety, bring them indoors where it will be quieter.

👏Luckily they are only here for a few weeks! 👏
