Warm weather is here, and so are the seasonal risks that can affect our pets.

Even on mildly warm days, dogs and cats can become overheated more quickly than many pet parents realize. Walks during peak temperatures, time spent in parked vehicles, and inadequate hydration can all increase the risk of heat-related emergencies.

A few simple precautions providing fresh water, avoiding the hottest parts of the day, and recognizing early warning signs can help keep your pets safe and comfortable all summer long.

Because when it comes to heat safety, prevention is always better than treatment. 💙🐶🐱

Outdoor adventures are fun, but they can also expose pets to hidden risks like cuts, sprains, ticks, foxtails, allergies, and unexpected injuries. 🐾🌿

If your pet starts limping, scratching excessively, acting tired, or seems uncomfortable after outdoor play, early diagnostics can make a big difference in catching problems before they worsen.

At Apollo Animal Hospital, our team is here to help keep your pets healthy, active, and ready for every adventure ahead. ❤️

A quick post-walk check can help catch problems before they become emergencies. 🐾

After every walk, take a minute to check your dog’s:
✔ Paws for cuts, thorns, or debris
✔ Fur and ears for ticks
✔ Skin for redness or irritation

In Surrey’s parks and trails, pets can easily pick up dirt, allergens, foxtails, or ticks without us noticing right away. A simple routine after walks can go a long way in keeping your pup safe and comfortable. 💚

Noticed limping, excessive licking, or unusual behavior after a walk? Contact Apollo Animal Hospital for guidance or an exam.
