Hot dawg! 🥵
We have our first local *HEAT ADVISORY* for 2026, starting this Sunday 6/14 -Tuesday 6/16 ☀️
The next few days are predicted to reach temperatures around 95-99 in the surrounding areas and we want your furry friends to be safe!
It would be best to avoid all outdoor exercise for your pooch (cats too!) in extreme heat and keep them indoors with air conditioning as much as possible.
Excessive panting can be the first symptom of heat stroke in dogs. A dangerously overheated dog may collapse or have convulsions, exhibit vomiting or diarrhea, and have gums or a tongue that turn blue or bright red.
Other warning signs of heat stroke include glazed eyes, excessive drooling, a rapid heart rate, dizziness or lack of coordination, fever, lethargy, and loss of consciousness. If your dog shows any of these symptoms, or even if you are slightly unsure, please contact your regular veterinar rian or local veterinary emergency hospital ASAP.
• As always, do NOT leave your dog or cat in a car for any amount of time in the heat, or even in mild warmer temperatures, and be careful of hot surfaces such as asphalt during walks that can easily burn your dog’s pads.
Stay safe and stay cool everyone! 💦
