☀️🐾 Hot Weather is Here – Know the Signs! 🐾☀️

As temperatures rise, our pets are at risk for overheating faster than you might think.

🚨 Watch for signs of heat stress:
• Excessive panting
• Drooling or thick saliva
• Lethargy or weakness
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Bright red gums

If you notice any of these, move your pet to a cool area and contact us right away. Heat-related illnesses can escalate quickly.

💧 Fresh water, shade, and limiting outdoor time during peak heat can make all the difference.

Florida Summer Heat & Your Dog: When The Pavement Can Double As A Fajita Skillet

Florida summers are a special kind of hot. The kind where you walk outside and immediately question every life decision that led you there. Unfortunately, our dogs don’t always realize the weather has gone from “nice walk” to “surface of the sun.” At Wickham Animal Hospital & Boarding, we want to help pet owners recognize the signs of overheating and keep their pets safe all summer long....

Florida summers can be rough on pets, but a little preparation can prevent serious emergencies.

🐾 Monthly Pet Safety Reminder 🐾

Fleas and ticks don’t take a break — and neither should prevention!
Monthly flea & tick protection helps keep your pets safe from:
✔️ Flea infestations

💡 Microchip Check!
Is your pet microchipped?
If yes — take a minute to make sure your contact information is up to date.
If not — ask your vet about microchipping. It’s one of the best ways to help your pet get home if they’re ever lost.

A few minutes each month = peace of mind all year long 🐶🐱❤️

🐶🐱 Breathing Should Be Easy 🐱🐶

This Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month, let’s talk about something many pet owners don’t realize…

Pets can have breathing struggles too.

If your pet has been:
💨 Coughing
💨 Wheezing
💨 Breathing faster than normal
💨 Acting more tired than usual

…it might be more than “just a bad day.”

✨ The best care is a combination approach.
From medications to laser therapy, we can help reduce inflammation and keep your pet comfortable, active, and happy.

You know your pet best—if something feels off, trust that instinct.

We’re here when you need us ❤️
