🐾 Limit outdoor time
💧 Keep them hydrated
🌳 Walk during cooler hours

🎆 Fireworks & Pets Don’t Mix! 🐾

As you gear up for 4th of July celebrations, don’t forget about your furry family members. Loud noises and bright flashes can cause extreme stress, anxiety, or even lead to pets running away.

Here are a few tips to keep them safe:
🔒 Keep pets indoors in a quiet, secure space
💊 Talk to your vet about calming options if needed
📻 Play soft music to help mask firework sounds
🆔 Make sure collars and microchips are up to date

Let’s make this holiday safe and stress-free for everyone. ❤️🐶🐱

🐾 Hot Pavement = Hot Paws! ☀️🐶
Did you know that when it’s just 85°F outside, asphalt can heat up to over 130°F? That’s hot enough to burn your dog’s paws in seconds.

💡 Paw Tip: If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
🔥 Walk during cooler times (early morning or evening), stick to grassy areas, and always test the pavement before heading out.

Let’s keep those paws safe this summer! 🐾❤️

🐾 June 14 is World Blood Donor Day! 🩸💙

While many know how vital human blood donors are, did you know pets can be life-saving heroes too? At PET+ER, we honor the incredible dogs and cats who donate blood to help critically ill or injured furry friends.

Just like in human medicine, blood transfusions are essential in veterinary emergency and critical care, supporting pets through surgeries, trauma, anemia, and more. Our dedicated pet blood donors play a vital role in saving lives every day.

Today, we celebrate the incredible bravery of our four-legged heroes who help save lives through blood donation.
