As temperatures rise, it's important to remember that a parked car can become dangerously hot within minutes—even with the windows cracked.

On an 80°F day, the temperature inside a vehicle can reach over 100°F in just 10 minutes. On hotter days, it climbs even faster. Pets cannot cool themselves as efficiently as people, making them extremely vulnerable to heatstroke, which can cause organ failure, brain damage, and even death. If your pet can't come inside with you, please leave them at home where it's cool and safe.

Signs of heatstroke include:
☀️ Excessive panting
☀️ Drooling
☀️ Bright red gums
☀️ Weakness or collapse
☀️ Vomiting or diarrhea
☀️ Seizures

If you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke, move them to a cool area, offer small amounts of water, and seek veterinary care immediately.

No errand is worth risking your pet's life. Stay safe and help us spread the word this summer!

If you've spent any time outdoors lately, you've probably noticed that ticks seem to be everywhere—and unfortunately, your pets are noticing them too. This year has been especially active for ticks throughout West Michigan.

Many people think ticks are only found in the woods, but that's not true. There is a very good chance ticks are living in your backyard, neighborhood walking trails, parks, and even areas with maintained lawns. No matter where you live, exposure is possible.

When an infected tick bites your pet, it can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichiosis. These illnesses can cause fever, lethargy, joint pain or lameness, loss of appetite, swollen lymph nodes, and in severe cases kidney damage and other long-term health complications.

Now is a great time to make sure your pet's flea and tick prevention is up to date. If you're running low or have questions about which product is best for your pet, give us a call! We also recommend vaccinating dogs against Lyme disease as an additional layer of protection.

A tick bite can happen in just a few minutes, but preventing tick-borne disease is much easier than treating it. Let's keep our furry family members protected this season!

In just one month, four bald eagles were admitted to Wildside Rehabilitation & Education Center with dangerously high lead levels. Unfortunately, two did not survive.

We want to take a moment to thank all those who help and support our local wildlife—your work does not go unnoticed.

“Our national symbol is dying,” said Wildside founder Louise Sagaert. “They are dying because of lead poisoning.”
