☀️ Heat Stroke Can Happen Faster Than You Think ☀️

Meet Arthur. ❤️

Over the weekend, Arthur was enjoying some time outside on a lead when the summer heat became too much. By the time his family found him, he was unable to stand. Thankfully, they acted quickly and brought him to our team for emergency care.

We're happy to share that Arthur survived—but not every pet is as lucky.

Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency that can develop rapidly, even when pets are in their own yard. High temperatures, humidity, limited shade, lack of airflow, or prolonged outdoor exposure can quickly overwhelm a pet's ability to cool themselves.

⚠️ Signs of heat stroke include:
• Excessive panting
• Bright red or pale gums
• Weakness or stumbling
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Collapse
• Unresponsiveness

If you suspect heat stroke:

❄️ Move your pet to a cool, shaded, or air-conditioned area immediately.
💧 Offer small amounts of water if they are conscious and able to drink.
🚫 Do NOT place your pet in an ice bath or under an ice-cold shower. Rapid cooling can cause blood vessels to constrict, making it harder for heat to escape and potentially worsening the situation.
🚗 Seek veterinary care immediately—even if your pet seems to improve.

⚠️ Heat stroke can continue causing damage even after a pet appears to recover. Internal body temperatures can trigger injury to the kidneys, liver, brain, and other organs, and complications may not become apparent until hours later. A veterinary evaluation is always recommended.

As temperatures climb, please remember:
🐾 Never leave pets unattended outdoors for extended periods.
🐾 Ensure access to shade and fresh water.
🐾 Exercise during cooler parts of the day.
🐾 Be especially cautious with seniors, puppies, overweight pets, and brachycephalic breeds.

Arthur's story had a happy ending because his family acted quickly. Help us spread the word so more pets can stay safe this summer.

❤️ For the love of pets.

💔 Jesse almost didn't make it.

His family rushed him to CCVS just in time, only to face a second life-threatening blockage days later. There was no time to wait as another surgery was his only chance to survive.

Thankfully, Jesse pulled through. 🐾❤️

Now his family is left with nearly $5,000 in emergency vet bills while also preparing to welcome a new baby. Anyone who has ever loved a pet knows they aren't "just animals"—they're family.

If you can spare even a few dollars, please consider helping Jesse's family recover from this unexpected hardship. Every donation and share means more than you know.

My sweet Jesse nearly left us last month. The vet told me if I'd waited even a minute longer, I would have lost my boy to a severe urinary blockage. They unb…
