Open play with your dog is safest when they have reliable recall, respond to basic cues, and are in a secure, enclosed area. đŸ¶ Before unclipping the leash, make sure your dog will come when called, can refocus on you around distractions, and is not likely to run toward people, wildlife, roads, or other dogs.

If your dog tends to ignore cues, bolt, guard toys, or become overstimulated, more training may be needed before off-leash play is a good idea. A good rule of thumb: if you’re not confident you can call your dog back right away, it’s not the right time for open play yet. Questions about safe exercise, behavior, or whether your dog is ready for more freedom? Call (248) 625-4144.

💧 Is your dog drinking enough water? A good rule of thumb: about 1 oz per pound of body weight daily. But things like heat, activity, and diet can change that! Noticing big changes in thirst? That can be a sign something’s up. Let’s check it out: (248) 625-4144

Dehydration can sneak up on pets faster than many people realize, especially during hot weather or when they’ve been vomiting or having diarrhea. â˜€ïžđŸ¶ Common signs to watch for include dry or sticky gums, tiredness, sunken eyes, a decreased appetite, heavy panting, and skin that doesn’t bounce back quickly when gently lifted.

If your pet seems off, isn’t drinking well, or is showing several of these signs, it’s a good idea to have them checked sooner rather than later.

Not all store-bought bones are safe for dogs. 🩮 Some are hard enough to crack teeth or cause choking, stomach upset, or blockages. When choosing a chew, look for one that matches your dog’s size and chewing style, and avoid anything too hard or easy to swallow. Not sure which chews are safest? We’re here to help, call us at (248) 625-4144 for our vets’ recommendations.

Dog parks can be fun, but they’re not risk-free. Before you go, make sure your dog is up to date on vaccines and parasite prevention. Once there, watch for signs of stress like stiff posture, staring, or rough play. Bring water, supervise closely, and don’t be afraid to leave if your dog seems overwhelmed. A safe visit is always better than a stressful one.

Questions about whether the dog park is a good fit for your pet? Call (248) 625-4144.

Sticks may seem harmless, but they can actually pose a risk to dogs. đŸ¶đŸȘ”Chewing on sticks can lead to splinters in the mouth, injuries to the gums, choking, and even pieces getting stuck in the throat or digestive tract. Some dogs may also injure their teeth from biting down on hard wood. If your dog loves to chew or carry sticks outside, it’s a good idea to redirect them to safer alternatives like durable chew toys or pet-safe fetch toys.

If your pet has trouble chewing, is pawing at the mouth, drooling more than usual, or seems painful after playing with a stick, it’s best to have them checked. Call (248) 625-4144 if you’re concerned.
