☀️🐾 EXTREME HEAT WARNING – PLEASE HELP KEEP PETS SAFE! 🐾☀️

Environment Canada has issued heat warnings across much of New Brunswick, with temperatures reaching 30–34°C and humidex values up to 40. The dangerous heat is expected to continue through today, with some areas remaining hot into Saturday before cooler weather arrives.

Hot weather can become life-threatening for pets in just minutes. Dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals can suffer from heat exhaustion and heat stroke much faster than people.

🐶 Keep your pets safe:
💧 Provide plenty of fresh, cool water at all times.
🌳 Ensure they always have access to shade or an air-conditioned space.
🚗 Never leave a pet in a parked vehicle — even with the windows cracked. Temperatures inside a vehicle can become deadly within minutes.
🐾 Check the pavement before walks. If it’s too hot for the back of your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
🌅 Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler.
🚫 Avoid strenuous exercise or play during the hottest part of the day.
✂️ Never shave double-coated breeds to the skin—their coats help regulate body temperature. Regular brushing is a better way to help them stay cool.

⚠️ Signs of heat stroke include:
• Excessive panting
• Heavy drooling
• Bright red or pale gums
• Weakness or stumbling
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Confusion or collapse
• Difficulty breathing

🚨 If you suspect heat stroke:
Move your pet to a cool, shaded area immediately, offer small amounts of cool (not ice-cold) water, wet them with cool water, and seek veterinary care right away. Heat stroke is a medical emergency.

❤️ Our pets depend on us to protect them. A few simple precautions can prevent tragedy.

Please share this message to help keep pets safe during this heat wave.

Tick season is here—learn how to keep your pet safe from tick-borne diseases 🐾

Tick-borne diseases aren’t just a “summer nuisance.” They can become serious, even life-threatening, for pets if not caught early. Conditions like Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis can cause symptoms ranging from fever and lethargy to joint pain, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, organ damage.

Here’s the good news: prevention is highly effective.
✔️ Keep your pet on a veterinarian-recommended tick prevention year-round
✔️ Check your pet daily, especially after walks in wooded or grassy areas
✔️ Remove ticks promptly and properly
✔️ Keep your yard trimmed and minimize tall grass and brush

How do tick preventatives work?
Most veterinary-recommended preventatives either repel ticks or kill them after they attach—before they have time to transmit disease. Some are topical (applied to the skin) and spread across your pet’s coat, while others are oral medications that work through the bloodstream. In both cases, the goal is the same: stop ticks quickly and reduce the risk of disease transmission.

If your pet is showing unusual signs—fatigue, limping, decreased appetite—don’t wait. Early treatment makes a big difference.

We’re here 24/7 if you need us. Stay safe, stay informed, and give those furry family members an extra check today 🐾

❄️ SEVERE COLD WIND WARNING – NEW BRUNSWICK ❄️

Environment Canada has issued a yellow cold warning for all of New Brunswick, with very cold wind chills expected from Saturday into Sunday especially Saturday morning through Sunday morning. Wind chills could feel between -30 °C and -37 °C, making conditions dangerous for people and animals. This extreme cold puts everyone at risk of frostbite and hypothermia.

These conditions mean that even brief exposure can be hazardous. Frostbite can occur quickly on exposed skin in very low wind chills.

🐾 PET SAFETY REMINDER 🐾
• Outdoor cats: Please bring them inside during this cold spell. Cats are especially vulnerable to extreme cold and wind chill.
• Dogs: Limit outdoor time to only what’s necessary for bathroom breaks. Keep walks very short and watch for signs of cold stress (shivering, lifting paws, reluctance to walk).
• Paws & protection: After going outside, wipe your dog’s paws to remove snow, ice, and road salt that can irritate.
• Signs to watch for: Watch for shivering, lethargy, pale or cold extremities. These can be signs of hypothermia or frostbite.

🌬️ GENERAL SAFETY REMINDERS 🌬️
• Dress in layers with a wind-resistant outer layer and cover exposed skin if you must go out.
• Keep an eye on forecasts and alerts, and check conditions before going outdoors.
• If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pets.

Stay warm and keep your whole family safe including the furry members! 🧤❤️🐶🐱
