🐾☀️ Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer! ☀️🐾

With temperatures rising, it’s so important to help keep our furry family members safe, cool and hydrated during the warmer weather. Dogs and cats can struggle in the heat much more quickly than we do, so simple cooling treats can make a big difference! 🧊💚

Remember:
✅ Always provide plenty of fresh water
✅ Avoid walks during the hottest part of the day
✅ Never leave pets in cars
✅ Watch for signs of overheating

Take a look at our posters for simple pet-safe frozen treat recipes you can make at home! 🍌🫐🐟

🌟🐾 PATIENT OF THE WEEK – Skie-Blue 🐾🌟

Say hello to beautiful Skie-Blue, our gorgeous 5 year 5 month old Siamese who visited us for a dental procedure including dental X-rays with our vet Ri 🦷✨

Skie-Blue was an absolute superstar throughout her stay with us. From her pre-op cuddles to her dental imaging and procedure, she was calm, brave, and so well behaved — earning herself the title of this week’s ⭐ Star Patient ⭐

Dental health is such an important part of our pets’ overall wellbeing, and dental X-rays allow us to check below the gum line to make sure hidden problems don’t go unnoticed 🩺🦷

We’re so proud of how well Skie-Blue did and we loved having her in clinic 💚

Please join us in giving this sweet girl some love in the comments below! 🐱💚
