Today, we are honoring the late and great, Freddie Mercury, Dr. Hill's daughter's goldfish. He passed away quietly surrounded by family last night. We ask all of our clients to say sweet words to their fish (if you have them!) and play a Queen song in the goldfish's memory.
Swim high, Freddie! 🐟

The warm weather season is upon us, and we want you to keep your pet as safe as possible! Below are some tips to help avoid your pet from overheating and possibly having a life threatening condition called heat stroke. Keep in mind, if it is hot for you, it is even hotter for your pet.

🌞Avoid taking your pet outside and/or on walks in the middle of the day. Consider switching walks to the morning or evening when the temperatures are more tolerable.
👣When walking your pets, try to avoid asphalt as it can burn their paw pads.
🫗Always provide access to fresh water and shade for your pets when they are outside.
❌Never leave your pet in the car, regardless of if it is in the shade or the windows are cracked. Cars overheat to deadly temperatures.
👃Be extra mindful of your short-nosed breeds and overweight dogs, knowing they have more problems in the heat.

🚑If you see the below symptoms, your pet may be experiencing a heat stroke and you should seek ER veterinary care as soon as possible. If you notice these symptoms happening with your pet, do not submerge them into a very cold bath or hose them down with cold water. It is detrimental to your pet to quickly take them from a high temperature to a cold temperature, as this could shock them. It is best to continuously pour cool water on them, allowing the water to run off and the heat to release. Do not place wet towels on them as this can trap in the heat. Call a local emergency clinic as soon as you notice these signs.

Heat Stroke symptoms:
Excessive panting
Restlessness
Excessive drooling
Unsteadiness
Abnormal gum and tongue color
Collapse
Bloody diarrhea
Vomiting

Today is the day to steal other people's hearts, not other people's pets! Not only is today Valentine's Day, but it is also National Pet Theft Awareness Day.
Pets that go missing aren't always stolen, but they can be stolen for profit and reward, breeding, and dog fighting rings (bait or fighter).

We don't want your heart to be broken, so what can you do to protect your beloved pet?
-Never leave your pet unsupervised outside or in your car.
-Don't let your pet roam free in your neighborhood.
-Microchip your pet.
-Don't rely solely on wearable technology (ie collars, GPS collars).
-Keep your pet up to date on their county license and keep their tag on their collar.
-Keep recent pictures of your pet in case they go missing.

What can you do if your pet is missing?
-Call local animal shelters, animal control, veterinary offices, and pounds and make them aware. Provide them with a detailed description/picture, their microchip number, and your contact information.
-Canvas your neighborhood and talk to your neighbors.
-Post "missing" flyers locally with an up to date picture of your pet and appropriate contact information.
-Use "missing pet" social media pages to spread awareness.
-Use http://www.thecenterforlostpets.org/
-If you feel like your pet was stolen, call your local police and file a missing pet report.

Please be aware of scams. Be wary of strangers calling saying they found your pet and insist on a reward before turning your pet over. Insist on a detailed description of your pet.
