Raise awareness for feline leukemia 🐱
What is feline leukemia virus (FeLV)? Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a virus that infects cats. It was first discovered in cats with a form of leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells). FeLV can cause a variety of diseases in addition to leukemia. Like all viruses, FeLV is a tiny microorganism that can only replicate itself inside living cells. FeLV is specific to members of the cat family and does not pose a risk to other species of animals or people.

💧🐾July is Pet Hydration Month! 🐾💧

🌞 As the temperatures soar, it's crucial to keep our furry friends well-hydrated. Just like us, pets need plenty of water to stay healthy and happy. Our human bodies are made up of 80% water, but our pet's bodies are made up of 50-60% water. Add being covered in fur on top of that, and pets can become dehydrated much faster than people. Here’s why hydration is so important and how you can ensure your pets are getting enough water:

Why Hydration Matters:
-Healthy Organs: Water supports essential bodily functions, including digestion and nutrient absorption.
-Temperature Regulation: Hydration helps pets regulate their body temperature, which is vital during hot summer days.
-Joint Health: Proper hydration lubricates joints, keeping your pets active and playful.
-Prevent Illness: Dehydration can lead to serious health issues like kidney stones and urinary tract infections.

Tips to Keep Your Pets Hydrated:
-Fresh Water: Always provide fresh, clean water. Change it daily to keep it appealing.
-Multiple Stations: Place water bowls in several locations around your home.
-Hydrating Treats: Offer water-rich treats like watermelon (seedless) or cucumbers.
-Monitor Intake: Pay attention to how much your pet is drinking. If they seem uninterested, try adding a splash of low-sodium broth to their water.
-Portable Water Bottles: When out and about, carry a portable water bottle and bowl to ensure your pet stays hydrated on the go.

Signs of Dehydration:
-Lethargy
-Dry nose and gums
-Sunken eyes
-Loss of appetite
-Panting excessively

If you notice any of these signs, contact your vet immediately!

Fun Hydration Activities:
Water Play: Set up a kiddie pool or use a sprinkler for some splashy fun.
Frozen Treats: Make DIY frozen treats with pet-safe ingredients for a refreshing snack.
Let’s make Pet Hydration Month a splash!

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and keep those tails wagging! 🐶🐱💦
