It doesn’t have to be that hot for your car to become dangerous.

On a 75° day, your car can reach over 100° in just 30 minutes. That’s all it takes to put your pet at serious risk.

Even with the windows cracked, temperatures rise fast, and pets can’t cool down the way we do.

Never leave your pet in the car, even for a quick errand If you ever notice signs of overheating, call us right away.

Could your pet survive the heat today?

Heat stroke can escalate quickly and become life threatening before you even realize something is wrong. In this video, Dr. White from Animal Emergency Clinic of Northeast walks through what to watch for and how to act fast.

Early signs can include heavy panting, excessive drooling, vomiting, lethargy, or trouble walking. Some pets are at higher risk, especially flat faced breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs, senior or overweight pets, and those with thick coats.

If you’re concerned, move your pet to a cool area, offer small amounts of water, and use cool not cold water to help bring their temperature down while you head in to see your local emergency care team.

Prevention goes a long way. Avoid peak heat hours, never leave pets in a car, and make sure they always have access to shade and water. If you think your pet may be experiencing heat stroke, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

Most pets with arthritis don’t limp.

You might notice slowing down on walks, hesitation to jump, stiffness after rest, or just “not acting like themselves.” These small changes can be early signs of joint pain. The good news is there are ways to help support your pet’s comfort and mobility.

Have you noticed any of these changes in your pet? Let’s talk. Our team is here to help.

It’s heating up outside, and so are the risks for your pets.

As temperatures rise, we start to see more cases of heat exhaustion, and it can escalate quickly if you’re not watching for the signs. Panting is often the first clue, especially when your pet is struggling to cool themselves. You may also notice excessive drooling, bright red gums, vomiting, or weakness. If gums turn purple or gray, or your pet has trouble standing or collapses, it’s time for immediate emergency care.

If you notice any of these symptoms, get your pet out of the heat right away. Move them into shade or air conditioning, offer room temperature water, and avoid ice or very cold water, as that can make things worse.

Heat exhaustion can quickly turn into heat stroke, so acting early matters. If you suspect your pet is experiencing heat exhaustion, don’t wait. Seek emergency veterinary care right away.

Notice any tiny red spots on your dog after outdoor play or laying in the grass? They are more than likely gnat bites 🐾. These usually fade on their own and don't cause discomfort, but if your dog scratches or seems uneasy, give them a soothing oatmeal shampoo bath 🛁. If itching persists, contact us for advice. Stay vigilant – gnats are active and persistent this season! 🌿
