Did you know that unlike humans who sweat all over, dogs primarily sweat through their paw pads? Dogs also cool themselves by panting, which is why you'll see them breathing heavily on hot summer days.

Keep your animals safe this summer by watching for signs of overheating such as excessive panting or drooling, lethargy, disorientation and rapid breathing. If you suspect your pet is overheating, contact your veterinarian right away. And remember, never leave your pet in a vehicle, even for a few minutes - if you see an animal in distress in a parked car, call 911.

Planning a backyard barbecue? Keep your furry friends safe:

☀️Keep food scraps away from pets - cooked bones can splinter and fatty foods cause stomach upset. Onions, garlic, and grapes are toxic.

☀️Create a safe zone away from hot grills, lighter fluid and charcoal. Store all barbecue supplies securely.

☀️Provide fresh water and watch for signs of overheating in the summer heat.

☀️Secure gates and doors - with guests coming and going, pets can easily slip out.

Let's play Myth vs. Fact! How well do you know your pet health facts?

🚫 MYTH: Indoor cats don't need regular veterinary checkups since they're not exposed to outdoor dangers.

✅ FACT: Indoor cats still need annual wellness exams. They can develop dental disease, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease and other health issues that require professional monitoring. Regular checkups help catch problems early when they're most treatable.
