***ROUTINE LAB WORK***

With regular blood tests and other lab screenings, we
can detect health issues like diabetes, kidney disease,
and thyroid disorders before your pet shows noticeable
symptoms. In many cases, this gives us the opportunity for
early intervention, which can lead to a longer, healthier life!
Call to schedule your pet's appointment today.

**HEATSTROKE**
Signs of heatstroke include heavy panting, excessive
drooling, abnormally colored gums, lack of coordination, or
vomiting. If you suspect heatstroke, call us right away. Many
pets will not stop playing despite the heat, so it’s up to you
to make them take a break or bring them indoors.

Heatstroke can affect cats, too. Help your cat
cool down by moving them to a well-ventilated area and call
us right away. Please keep cats indoors on hot days, ensure
they have access to shady spaces, and provide plenty of
fresh water.

Fun fact you may not know:
The longer a dog’s nose, the better they can regulate their body temperature. A cold, wet nose enhances their sense of smell.

PET TRIVIA
Unlike humans, sweating is not an effective way for pets to cool off. Dogs regulate their body temperature by panting, while cats primarily cool down by licking their fur. Help your pets stay cool by providing plenty of shade and fresh water, and keep them indoors on hot days.

BLUE GREEN ALGAE
Beware of toxic blooms on the water’s surface that may look like spilled green paint or pea soup. Steer clear of lakes, ponds, and streams with visible algae blooms and check local advisories for warnings. If you suspect your pet was exposed to blue green algae, seek immediate care.
