🌞 Summer Heat Safety Tips for Your Pets! 🐾
From your friends at Center Animal Clinic
📍 107 Pleasant Drive, Aliquippa, PA
📞 (724) 375-7026

As temperatures rise, it’s crucial to keep your furry family members safe—whether they’re home alone or outside. Every summer, we see preventable emergencies caused by heat-related illnesses. Let’s keep our pets cool and healthy!

🚨 Heat Safety Tips for Pets:

🐶 Never leave pets in parked cars – Even with the windows cracked, temperatures can rise to deadly levels within minutes.
💧 Provide fresh, cool water at all times – Hydration is essential, especially in hot weather.
🌳 Offer shaded outdoor spaces – If your pet is outside, make sure there is shade and limited exposure to the sun.
🏡 Avoid mid-day walks – Walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler.
🐾 Protect those paws – Pavement and asphalt can burn sensitive paw pads. Test with your hand—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them!
🌀 Use fans or cooling mats indoors – Keep pets comfy if your home gets warm during the day.
🚿 Cool, not cold baths – A light mist or damp cloth can help bring body temperatures down safely.

📅 If you suspect heatstroke (excessive panting, lethargy, drooling, vomiting, or collapse), contact us immediately.

Let’s make this a safe and happy summer for everyone—pets included! 🐕🐾☀️

☀️🐾 Summer Fun & Safety Alert from Center Animal Clinic! 🐾☀️

The sun is shining bright in Aliquippa, and we're all ready to soak up those summer vibes! But as the temperatures rise, it's super important to remember our furry family members can get hot much faster than we do. Their safety is our top priority!

Here are a few "paws-itive" tips for keeping your pet cool, hydrated, and happy this summer:

💧 Water, Water Everywhere! Always make sure your pet has access to fresh, clean water, whether you're at home, on a walk, or at the park. Consider a portable water bowl for adventures!
⛱️ Shady Business is Good Business! When outdoors, always provide a shady spot for your pet to rest. Concrete and asphalt can get scorching hot – hot enough to burn paws!
🚗 Never Leave Pets in Hot Cars! Even with windows cracked, temperatures inside a car can skyrocket to dangerous levels in minutes, leading to fatal heatstroke. If your pet can't come in with you, leave them safely at home. It's just not worth the risk.
🌡️ Know the Signs of Heatstroke! Excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, or wobbly legs are serious red flags. If you see these, cool your pet immediately with cool (not cold) water and call us at 724-375-7026 right away!
Let's make this a safe and tail-waggingly good summer for all our beloved pets! 🐶🐱

🐾☀️ Kickoff to Summer: Pet Safety Tips & Ice Cream Pics! 🍦🐶🐱
As Memorial Day weekend wraps up and summer officially begins, we want to help you and your furry friends start the season safely and with a smile! 😎🐾

✅ Check out our quick summer pet safety tips—like staying cool, avoiding hot pavement, and keeping up on flea, tick & heartworm protection!

☀️ Quick Summer Pet Safety Tips
* Keep Pets Cool – Provide plenty of fresh water and shade. Limit outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day (typically 10 AM – 4 PM).

* Avoid Hot Pavement – If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! Walk pets in the early morning or evening.

* Never Leave Pets in Cars – Even with windows cracked, temperatures can rise dangerously fast.

* Watch for Signs of Overheating – Look out for excessive panting, drooling, weakness, or vomiting.

* Use Pet-Safe Sunscreen – Light-colored or thin-coated pets can get sunburned—apply pet-safe sunscreen to ears and noses if needed.

* Stay Up to Date on Flea, Tick & Heartworm Prevention – Summer is peak season for parasites. Make sure your pet’s protection is current.

* * Secure Windows & Balconies – Open windows can be a fall risk—use screens and supervise.

Be Cautious Around Water – Not all pets are natural swimmers. Use pet life jackets for boating or pool time.

* Keep BBQ Foods & Alcohol Out of Reach – Some summer treats can be toxic to pets, including onions, grapes, chocolate, and alcohol.

📸 Plus, we’d love to see your pets enjoying a cool treat—post a pic of your dog or cat with their favorite summer snack or frosty toy in the comments!

🐾 Fun Fact Friday at Center Animal Clinic! 🐾
📍 107 Pleasant Drive, Aliquippa, PA | 📞 724-375-7026

How Do Dogs Recognize Their Owners? 🤔🐶
It’s not just your treat stash they love — dogs actually recognize their humans by sight, scent, and even voice! Studies show that your dog can identify you just by your face and your unique smell (yes, even after a gym day 😅). And that tail-wagging frenzy when you walk in? That’s not just excitement — it’s pure love and familiarity. 💛

So next time your pup gives you that look, know it’s not just because you said “walk” — they really know you!

Stay tuned every Friday for more paws-itively awesome facts!
