🌡️ Summer fun is great, but high temperatures can quickly become dangerous for dogs and cats. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are serious medical emergencies. Keep outdoor activities short during the hottest part of the day, always provide shade, and make sure fresh water is available wherever you go. 🐕💦

Not every algae bloom is harmful, but there is no way to know if toxins are present just by looking at the water. That is why veterinarians recommend avoiding lakes or ponds with visible green scum, discolored water, or a foul odor. Prevention is much easier than treating a medical emergency. Pack fresh drinking water for your pup so they are less likely to drink from the lake while you're out enjoying the sunshine. 🐾💙

Getting a microchip is the easy part. 🐾 People often forget to keep the registration current. A chip linked to an old phone number or an address you moved away from three years ago isn't helpful.

📅 Check the Chip Day is August 15, and honestly it takes about two minutes. Look up your pet's chip number, log into the registry, and confirm your contact info is still right.
