🔥 EXTREME HEAT ALERT: Keep Your Pets Cool!🔥

As temperatures rise, it's crucial to ensure the safety of our furry friends. Here's what you need to know to protect your pets from heat stroke.

⚠️ Signs of Heat Stroke:
Heavy panting, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst
Bright red tongue and mucus membranes, turning grey as shock sets in
Thick saliva, drooling, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
Unsteadiness and staggering
Lethargy
🌡️ Ways to Prevent Heat Stroke:
Always provide plenty of fresh, cool water.
Ensure your dog has access to shade and a cool place to rest.
Avoid walking or exercising your dog during the hottest parts of the day; opt for early morning or late evening walks.
Never leave your dog in a parked car, even with the windows cracked open.
Use cooling mats, vests, or fans to help keep your dog cool.
Consider trimming long-haired dogs, but avoid shaving them completely as their coat also protects from sunburn.

Stay vigilant and keep your pets cool to prevent these life-threatening conditions.🐕❤️

Friendly reminder!

As an owner of a couple anxious dogs myself, I will share this every year.

Quick PSA: During the Fourth of July holiday, and the days leading it up to it when folks start celebrating with noisy fireworks, scores of pets run away from the sights and sounds, making the day after Independence Day the busiest of the year for animal hospitals and shelters. Please do your due diligence. And if you feel as though your pet may need medication to help them relax during firework season, now is the time to speak with your veterinarian!

Remember to ask for help when lifting a large dog.

Remember that everyone’s definition of heavy is different. Respect that.

Remember that it’s okay to ask for sedation when a large dog is fighting.

Remember that you don’t have to “see it through” when a large dog is struggling.

Remember to use gurney’s for large dogs when needed.

Remember to use lift tables for large dogs when needed.

Remember it’s okay to say “no” when a doctor wants a large dog on a table.

Remember it’s okay to have the pet come back after giving sedatives to try the visit again.

Remember you’re human, not a superhero.

The reason I’m here today is because I have cervical spinal stenosis and herniated disc. This causes chronic back pain. The treatment is nerve injections every 6-12 months (or ablation but lovely Tricare refuses to cover that). All of this is because I didn’t listen to my body. I either thought I was “able to do it myself” or not thinking at all.

I spent a good portion of my career putting others before myself. Look where that landed me…in a surgery gown about to get sedation for a back nerve injection. You’re only given one life and one body to live it in. Be sure you’re living it safely.

It’s okay to speak up if you’re uncomfortable.

When you finally welcome your 8 week old puppies, please keep this picture in mind. Their bones aren’t even touching yet. They walk so beautifully with big, flexible legs and bench movements because their joints are made up entirely of cartilage, muscles, tendons and ligaments covered with skin. Nothing is well adjusted or has real grip yet.

When you make them run excessively or don't limit their exercise to prevent them from overdoing during that time, you're not giving them the chance to grow properly. Every big jump or bounce and excited run creates bone-breaking impacts.
In reasonable quantities, this is not problematic and normal wear and tear will do.

But when you let the puppy jump off the couch or bed, take him for long walks, you damage this joint in training. When you let the puppy move on slippery tiles, you damage the joint.

You only get once to make them grow up. A well built body is something that comes from excellent upbringing and good education. BOTH , not just one

Once you’re an adult, you’ll have the rest of your life to spend playing and engaging in high-impact exercises. So keep him calm while he is still young and give him the gift that can only be given once.

Retractable leashes should not be made anyone. They are not safe!

***Effective Immediately***

We have enlisted a NO RETRACTABLE LEASH policy in our lobby. Please see the front desk to borrow a rope leash during your visit. This policy has been initiated for the safety of all of our patients, clients and team members.

Did you know...

Dogs who are 10 feet away are NOT under control, even if they are on a leash?

Dogs on long leads can dart into traffic and get hit by a car?

The retractable cord itself is a hazard and can severely injure people and animals (including degloving and amputation of limbs!)?

The locks can fail, resulting in complete lack of control of your dog?

Dog fights can not easily be avoided on a retractable leash?

KEEP YOUR PETS ON A TRADITIONAL LEASH FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY!

Thank you,
Franklinton Animal Hospital
