Baby it’s hot outside …🌡️ It's still HOT this week!

Please keep a close eye on your pets during these extreme temperatures. Heatstroke can happen quickly and is a medical emergency.

Signs of heatstroke include:
🐾 Heavy panting
🐾 Difficulty breathing
🐾 Excessive drooling or thirst
🐾 Weakness or lethargy
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 A deep red or purple tongue
🐾 Seizures or unconsciousness

If your pet overheats:
✔️ Move them to a cool, shaded area.
✔️ Cool them with wet towels or cool (not cold) water.
✔️ Offer small amounts of cool water.
✔️ Seek veterinary care immediately.

The safest plan? Walk early or late, provide plenty of fresh water and shade, and leave the midday heat to the squirrels.

Have a safe and happy week! 🐶🐱❤️

☀️ Summer heat is here! Let's help keep our four-legged family members safe. 🐾

As temperatures climb this week, remember that pets can overheat much faster than we do. Heatstroke is a medical emergency, so it's important to know the warning signs.

Watch for:
• Heavy panting or difficulty breathing
• Glazed eyes or a rapid heartbeat
• Excessive thirst or drooling
• Weakness, lethargy or lack of coordination
• Vomiting
• A bright red or purple tongue
• Fever, seizures or unconsciousness

If your pet becomes overheated:
🐾 Move them to a cool, shaded or air-conditioned area.
🐾 Apply cool (not cold) wet towels or ice packs to the head, neck and chest, or gently run cool water over them.
🐾 Offer small amounts of cool water or allow them to lick ice cubes.
🐾 Contact your veterinarian and seek immediate veterinary care.

The best way to protect your pet is to avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day, make sure they always have fresh water and shade, and never leave them in a parked vehicle.

A little prevention can make all the difference. Stay safe and enjoy the summer!

Summer days and nights can be fun for the whole family. Keep pets safe and healthy with these summer tips for dogs and cats.

🌞 Hot temperatures are continuing! Keep your pets safe this week. 🐾

Extreme heat can be dangerous for pets and may lead to heatstroke. Watch for these warning signs:

• Heavy panting or difficulty breathing
• Glazed eyes or a rapid heartbeat
• Excessive thirst or drooling
• Lethargy, weakness or lack of coordination
• Vomiting
• A deep red or purple tongue
• Fever, seizures or unconsciousness

If you think your pet is overheating:

✅ Move them to a shaded or air-conditioned area.
✅ Apply cool (not cold) wet towels or ice packs to the head, neck and chest, or gently run cool water over them.
✅ Offer small amounts of cool water or let them lick ice cubes.
✅ Seek veterinary care immediately. Even if your pet seems to improve, heatstroke can cause serious internal damage that requires prompt treatment.

A little extra caution during hot weather can go a long way. Keep walks short, avoid the hottest part of the day, and never leave a pet in a parked vehicle.

Stay cool and stay safe! ❤️🐶🐱
