☀️ Beat the Heat: Keep Your Pets Cool & Safe! ☀️

As the weather warms up, it’s important to remember that our pets feel the heat even more than we do! Heatstroke can happen quickly and is a serious medical emergency.

Keep your furry friends cool with these 4 tips:
💧 Stay Hydrated: Always provide plenty of fresh, cool water.
🌳 Monitor Temperature: Limit outdoor time to the cooler parts of the day (early morning or late evening).
🐾 Watch the Pavement: If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!
🚗 Never Leave Pets in Cars: Even with the windows cracked, temperatures can reach dangerous levels in minutes.

Know the signs of overheating: excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting.

If you suspect heatstroke, contact us immediately! 📞🆘

Hi everyone… my name is Coconut 🥥🐾

I’m a 7-month-old spayed girl still waiting for my furever family. My friend Kiwi just got adopted (yay Kiwi!! 💕) and now I’m really hoping I get my turn soon too.

I dream about having my own comfy couch, toys to play with, treats, and humans to snuggle with every day. I promise I have lots of love and puppy kisses ready to give. 🥹

Could you be my forever family? Or maybe share my post to help me find them? 🤍🏡

🛡️ May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month! 🛡️

As the weather warms up, so do the ticks! Lyme disease is a serious illness that can affect both our pets and our families. The good news? It’s highly preventable!

Here are 3 ways to keep your pet safe:

1️⃣ Prevention: Use a vet-recommended flea and tick preventative year-round.
2️⃣ Check: Do a thorough "tick check" after every walk, especially in wooded or grassy areas.
3️⃣ Protect: Keep your yard tidy and talk to us about the Lyme vaccine if your pet is at high risk.

Is your pet protected? Give us a call to discuss the best prevention plan for your furry friend! 📞✨

If your pet’s breath clears the room, it might be time for a dental evaluation 😂💙

🐍 RATTLESNAKE SEASON IS APPROACHING FAST!

As the weather warms up, rattlesnakes become more active — and we want to help keep you, your family, and your dogs safe this summer! ☀️🐶

Natural Solutions will be offering Rattlesnake Avoidance Training for dogs. Their experienced dog trainers, animal behaviorists, and naturalists work with dogs using the sight, sound, and smell of rattlesnakes to help teach recognition and avoidance behaviors.

This training can help your dog learn to alert and avoid dangerous encounters with rattlesnakes — helping protect them from a painful, costly, and potentially deadly bite.

📍 Rattlesnake Avoidance Training Dates:
Saturday, June 6th & Sunday, June 7th

⚠️ Spots are limited!

To sign up your dog(s) or ask questions about the training process, please contact Stephanie at 916-572-3961 or visit:
🌐 http://www.rattlesnakeaversion.com

A few tips to help keep your pets safe this season:
• Keep dogs on leash during hikes/walks
• Avoid tall grass, brush, and rocky areas
• Stay alert on early morning and evening walks
• Never let pets investigate holes, bushes, or snake sightings
• Contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect a bite
