Before visiting a dog-friendly patio, remember that good manners make the experience better for everyone. Keep your dog comfortable, respect restaurant rules, and always watch for signs that they need a break.

A calm and prepared dog helps keep Vancouver’s pet-friendly spaces welcoming for all.

Hot weather can put dogs and cats at risk of heatstroke.

Watch for warning signs like excessive drooling or panting, unusual gum color, weakness, or collapse. If you notice these signs, begin cooling your pet with cool water (never ice) and contact us right away while you're on your way to the clinic.

A few simple precautions, such as providing fresh water, shade, and avoiding the hottest part of the day, can help keep your pet safe all summer long.

If you think your pet is experiencing heatstroke, contact us.
