Summer Heat Safety for Pets

Beat the Heat: Keep Your Fur Babies Cool and Comfy!

Is your pet panting like they've just run a marathon? Time to chill out with these cool tips!

Phew! It's getting hot in here, and we're not just talking about us humans! At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we know our furry friends can struggle in the summer heat. From providing plenty of fresh water to avoiding hot pavements on walks, we've got a whole litter of tips to keep your pets cool as cucumbers. Remember, if you're feeling the heat, chances are your fur-covered bestie is too!

So don’t sweat it - here are a few practical tips from Dr. Zonia Osborn to keep your pets safe and comfortable during the hottest months:

🐾 Hydration is key – Make sure your pets always have access to fresh, clean water. Place bowls in shaded spots, and for extra fun, try adding a few ice cubes!

🐾 Paws off hot surfaces – Pavements can get scorching and burn paw pads. Test with the “5-second rule”—if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.

🐾 Shade seekers – Create a cool, shaded spot for outdoor pets using umbrellas, canopies, or trees. Indoors, keep curtains drawn and fans running.

🐾 Chill treats – Freeze some pet-safe snacks like watermelon cubes (seedless for dogs) or popsicles made with low-sodium chicken broth.

🐾 Cool-down baths – A quick rinse with cool water can help lower your pet’s body temperature. Bonus: it’s fun!

🐾 Time it right – Exercise early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are lower. Midday heat? Stay inside and play instead.

🐾 Keep an eye out – Watch for signs of heatstroke: heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting. If you suspect heat exhaustion, contact us immediately.

Quote: "Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." - Henry James

Fun Fact: Dogs and cats only sweat through their paw pads!

Top Tip: Never leave your pet in a parked car, even for a few minutes. Temperatures can rise rapidly and be fatal.

Speak Pet: Decoding Your Furry Friend's Secret Language

Is that tail wag really friendly? Learn to read your pet's body language like a pro!

At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we believe that understanding your pet's body language is key to a happy human-animal relationship. Our furry friends may not speak our language, but they're constantly communicating - if we know what to look for! For dogs, a wagging tail doesn't always mean happiness - it's all about the position and speed of the wag. Cats are masters of subtle communication - a slow blink is like a kitty kiss! Even rabbits have their own language - a binky (that adorable hop and twist) is a sign of pure joy.

By learning to read these cues, you can better understand your pet's needs and emotions. Are those ears back because they're scared or excited? Is that purr a sign of contentment or stress? Becoming fluent in 'pet speak' will help you respond appropriately to your furry friend's needs, strengthening your bond and ensuring their well-being. So, let's start speaking pet!

Quote: "Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms." - George Eliot

Fun Fact: Dogs have about 100 different facial expressions, most of them made with the ears!

Top Tip: Observe your pet in different situations to learn their unique body language cues.

Press Release: Eldoraigne Animal Clinic Introduces Time-Based Billing to Enhance Affordable, Preventative Care

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Eldoraigne Animal Clinic Pioneers Time-Based Billing to Make Pet Care More Accessible

November 11, 2024 – Centurion, South Africa

Eldoraigne Animal Clinic is pleased to announce a shift to time-based billing for veterinary consultations. This new approach reflects the clinic’s commitment to affordable, preventative care, ensuring that pet owners only pay for the time and treatments required during each visit. As the practice continues to focus on proactive health solutions, the change aims to deliver a more cost-effective, transparent experience that supports both pets and their owners in the current economic climate.

Under the new billing model, clients are charged based on the time their pet spends with the veterinarian, rather than a fixed consultation fee. This method allows for more flexibility in care, as veterinarians can focus on tailored preventive measures while owners benefit from cost savings when shorter consultations are needed. With the clinic’s emphasis on wellness, routine screenings, and early intervention, clients can expect thorough care designed to address their pet’s health proactively.

"Our mission has always been to provide exceptional veterinary care while removing barriers that might prevent pet owners from seeking timely medical attention," says Dr. Gerjan Van der Veen, Veterinarian at Eldoraigne Animal Clinic. "Time-based billing ensures clients only pay for the care they need, whether it's a quick follow-up or a more comprehensive examination."
This change is part of Eldoraigne Animal Clinic’s ongoing Gentle Care Approach™, which emphasizes accessible, attentive, and personalized care. The clinic is confident this new model will support their clients in maintaining their pets’ well-being in a more economical and responsive way.

"By making routine check-ups more affordable, we hope to encourage regular preventative care visits," adds Dr. Van der Veen. "This proactive approach typically leads to better health outcomes and lower long-term costs for pet owners."

Fireworks and Furry Friends: Keeping Pets Calm this Halloween

BANGS, BOOMS, AND BARKS: Protecting Pets from Halloween Fireworks

Halloween fireworks can light up the sky but can be frightening for our pets. Let’s help them stay calm and safe!

As Halloween night approaches, so does the chance of unexpected fireworks displays. While the loud bangs and bright flashes might add excitement for us, they can be overwhelming or even terrifying for pets. At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we understand how sensitive pets can be to fireworks and sudden noises, and we’re here to share a few tips to keep them as calm and comfortable as possible.

Pets have much sharper hearing than we do, which means the sound of fireworks can feel painfully loud and alarming. To help reduce their anxiety, prepare a quiet, cozy space where they can retreat to feel safe. Closing windows and drawing curtains can help muffle the sound and reduce the visual impact of bright flashes. A calm, familiar environment with their favorite toys or blankets can work wonders to soothe them.

Some pets may benefit from calming music or white noise to drown out the firework sounds. You could also try distraction with interactive toys or pet-safe treats, but always remember to stay close by to comfort them if needed. And if your pet has severe noise phobia, consult our team—we can discuss additional options to make the evening easier on them.

Quote: "There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone’s life." – Mary Rose McGeady

Fun Fact: Dogs and cats have more acute hearing than humans; they can hear sounds four times farther away and are especially sensitive to sudden noises.

Top Tip: For pets prone to panic, avoid letting them outdoors during firework-heavy times, as some pets may try to escape out of fear.

Halloween Hazards: Protecting Pets From Frights And Delights!

A SAFE AND SOUND HALLOWEEN FOR YOUR PETS!

Ghosts, goblins, and ghouls—oh my! This Halloween, let’s keep the scares to a minimum for our pets.

Halloween’s spooky fun can come with some unexpected hazards for pets. At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we’re here to help you plan a pet-safe Halloween so that your pets can feel comfortable and protected throughout the festivities. Outdoor activity picks up around Halloween night, with trick-or-treaters, loud costumes, and flashing lights. To avoid stress and accidents, it’s usually best to keep pets indoors on Halloween night. This way, they’re safe from loud noises, fireworks, and the stream of unfamiliar visitors at the door.

Be cautious with Halloween decorations and props. Small or breakable parts, open flames in pumpkins, and string lights can be irresistible to pets but dangerous if chewed or knocked over. Battery-operated candles or pet-safe decorations are a great alternative. And if you do dress up your pet, avoid any costume with dangling accessories or tight bands that could easily become a choking hazard. Even better, choose something simple like a themed collar or bandana that won’t get in the way of their comfort or safety.

If you want to celebrate with treats, use pet-friendly alternatives! Pumpkin puree (unsweetened) is safe for dogs and cats in moderation and can make a delicious festive treat. Remember to check the ingredient list on any food before letting your pet sample it, and when in doubt, consult our team or stick with pet-specific goodies.

Quote: “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” – Mark Twain

Fun Fact: Some Halloween plants, like pumpkins, are safe for pets, while others, like dried corn, can be harmful if ingested.

Top Tip: Make sure your pet has a safe, quiet spot to go to in case the excitement becomes overwhelming. Preparing a cozy room with a favorite toy or blanket can help them relax when things get a little too spooky!

Halloween Safety: Spooky Fun, Safe Pets!

Trick or Treat: Keep Halloween Sweet for Your Pets!

Is your pet a Halloween enthusiast or more of a ‘boo’-get-me-outta-here type? Here’s how to keep them happy and safe!

Halloween is full of excitement for us, but for pets, it can be more overwhelming than thrilling! At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we’re here to help make Halloween a safe and stress-free time for your furry family members. With new sights, sounds, and smells, it’s best to prepare ahead to keep things comfortable. Treats, for instance, can be tempting for curious noses, but many Halloween sweets contain chocolate or xylitol, both of which can be highly toxic to pets. Stick to pet-safe treats, and keep the candy bowl out of paw’s reach!

If you’re planning on dressing up your pet, make sure the costume doesn’t restrict movement, breathing, or vision—and always supervise them while they’re in costume. For pets who aren’t fans of costumes, a festive bandana or collar might be a better choice. And when those trick-or-treaters start knocking, consider setting up a quiet room or space where your pet can retreat away from the door. Some pets may get anxious or protective with so many strangers around, so give them a cozy, secure spot where they feel calm.

Quote: “There is magic in the night when pumpkins glow by moonlight.” – Unknown

Fun Fact: Did you know black cats are associated with Halloween superstition but are actually considered good luck in some cultures?

Top Tip: Use pet-safe glow sticks or reflective collars if your pet is out for an evening stroll or joining you outdoors. This keeps them visible and safe around any Halloween activities.

Fabulous Fur: Keeping Your Long-Haired Beauty Looking Pawsome!

Is your pet more fur than animal? Here's how to keep that luscious coat tangle-free and fabulous!

At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we know that long-haired pets are gorgeous - but they also need some extra TLC in the grooming department! Whether you've got a fluffy Persian cat, a shaggy Old English Sheepdog, or a luxurious Angora rabbit, regular grooming is key to keeping your pet healthy and happy. Not only does it keep their coat looking fabulous, but it also prevents matting, reduces shedding, and gives you a chance to check for any skin issues or parasites. Start with daily brushing using the right tools for your pet's coat type. Don't forget those often-overlooked areas like behind the ears and under the tail! Regular baths (using pet-specific shampoos, of course) can help keep that coat clean and shiny. And remember, grooming time is bonding time - make it a positive experience with lots of praise and treats. Your pet will be strutting their stuff in no time!

Quote: "I love my dogs and cats so much that I would do anything for them." - Taylor Swift

Fun Fact: The Afghan Hound's silky coat can grow up to 2.5 cm per month!

Top Tip: Start grooming sessions when your pet is young to get them used to the process.
