🌡️🐾 SEVERE HEAT WARNING 🐾🌡️

With high temperatures in our area, Ryegate Small Animal Hospital urges all pet owners to take extra precautions to protect their furry family members.

🐶 Please keep pets indoors whenever possible.
❌ Skip walks, hikes, and vigorous outdoor play during the hottest parts of the day. Even a short walk can quickly become dangerous.

Did you know?
• Dogs don’t sweat like humans—they primarily cool themselves by panting, making them much more susceptible to overheating.
• Heat stroke can develop in just minutes, especially in brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds, senior pets, puppies, overweight pets, and those with heart or respiratory disease.
• Hot pavement can burn paw pads in seconds. If it’s too hot for the back of your hand for 7 seconds, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.

The safest place for your pets during this heat wave is inside with air conditioning or fans.
Stay cool, stay hydrated, and keep your four-legged family members safe. ❤️🐾

Good morning,
We had a deceased female calico cat brought to us this morning. Due to the condition of the body, we believe she had passed away this morning or last night. She was found by three bears barn. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a microchip. We will be keeping her here for a period of time in case an owner is looking for her. If you believe this may be your cat, please contact us at 802-633-3660.
