🎆**Booms, Bangs & Wagging Tails – July 4th Pet Safety Tips!**🎆

Fireworks may light up our skies, but for our furry friends, they can be terrifying! 😱 As we get ready to celebrate this Friday, July 4th, CARE Veterinary Center wants to help keep your pets safe and sound. 🐾❤️

Here are some paw-some safety tips:

🐶 Keep pets indoors – Even if they’re usually fine outside, fireworks can cause panic and unexpected escapes.

🐱 Create a safe space – Turn on a TV, play soft music, and make a cozy den where they can feel secure.

🦴 Don’t bring them to fireworks shows – Loud noises + crowds = stressed-out pets.

🍔 Watch the snacks – BBQs are fun, but bones, onions, and chocolate can be dangerous for pets.

💊 If your pet needs calming medication to handle fireworks, don’t wait—call your primary care veterinarian ASAP! Appointments and prescriptions are filling up fast.

Let’s keep tails wagging and not shaking this holiday weekend! 🐕💥🐾
Stay safe, and give those pets a little extra love from all of us at CARE! 💙

🌞🐾 Heatwave got you melting? Take notes from Mr. Whiskers. 🐱🕶️

He’s got the right idea: beach, breeze, and zero zoomies until sunset.

🔥 Remember, if it's too hot for you, it's definitely too hot for your furry friends!
Keep those paws off hot pavement, water bowls full, and snuggles in the shade only.

Stay cool out there, pet parents — or you'll end up like this guy:
🌊 "Do not disturb. I’m 87% sand at this point."

🔴✨ Heal Faster, Hurt Less: Discover Laser Therapy for Pets at CARE! ✨🔴

Is your pet recovering from surgery, struggling with arthritis, or dealing with chronic pain? At CARE, we offer laser therapy — a safe, non-invasive treatment that promotes healing and relieves discomfort without medication or side effects.

💡 How does it work?
Laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and increase blood flow — all of which help your pet feel better, faster.

🐾 Conditions we treat with laser therapy:
✔️ Arthritis & joint pain
✔️ Post-surgical healing
✔️ Soft tissue injuries
✔️ Back pain & disc disease
✔️ Wound healing and more!
Many pets relax and even enjoy their laser sessions — and pet parents love seeing noticeable improvements in mobility, comfort, and energy levels. Plus, everyone looks adorable in their Doggles!🐶🐱💕

Summer fun is better when everyone stays safe—especially our furry friends! Here are some essential tips to keep your pets cool and healthy during the hot months:

🌡️ Watch the Temps
If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws! Walk your pets early in the morning or after sunset.

🚗 Never Leave Pets in the Car
Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside can skyrocket in minutes. Leave them at home when you run errands.

💧 Hydration is Key
Make sure fresh water is always available. Bring a travel bowl on walks or trips to the park.

🏖️ Shade is a Must
Pets can overheat quickly. Provide plenty of shade if they're outside and limit their time in direct sun.

🦟 Prevent Parasites
Summer means bugs—talk to your vet about flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

💦 Cool Treats
Frozen pet-friendly treats are a great way to beat the heat (plain ice cubes or frozen broth work too!).

Let’s make this a safe, happy summer for our four-legged family members! 🐕❤️🐾
