With Canada Day right around the corner, summertime is full of events with celebrations! 🎉✨

While fun for humans, these celebrations can be quite stressful for some pets and can leave them feeling anxious and frightened.

Many pets do not love the excitement of fireworks or other loud noises that come with the holidays. This can lead to them feeling scared, wanting to hide, becoming destructive or sometimes even wanting to escape/run away.

Keeping your pets indoors, giving them a safe space, and using calming aids are all helpful tools to keep them more secure during big events or fireworks displays.

Follow this link below to an article that discusses the effects that firework season has on pets. This is a great guide on how we can best support our pets during these times that may cause them potential stress! 🎆💞

Summer months bring warm weather! The heat can be nice, but can pose potential risk for your pets.🐶🥵🌞

With the recent forecast and temperature elevations it’s important to keep in mind a few safety measures for your pets:

☀️ Do not leave your pets outside in extreme hot temperatures, especially in areas that are not well shaded.

☀️ ALWAYS make sure there is fresh free choice water available at all times!

☀️ Try to avoid strenuous exercises during the hottest parts of the day and be mindful of your pets paws on the hot ground surfaces.

☀️ Do not leave your pets unattended in vehicles. The temperatures inside the vehicle differ greatly from the temperatures outside the car and can be extremely dangerous!

☀️ Brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds like Pugs, Bulldogs, etc. are at a higher risk due to their shortened airways and difficulty to pant efficiently.

☀️ Monitor your pets for any signs of distress, excessive panting, restlessness, if they become unsteady on their feet, lethargy, excessive drooling, gum colour changes, +/- vomiting.

🚨 If you suspect your pet has heatstroke or heat exhaustion, please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible! 🏥🐾

Let’s have a safe summer, and beat the heat!😎
