☀️🐾 Too Hot to Trot? Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer! 🐾☀️

Summer is here, and while you may be soaking up the sun, your pets could be feeling the heat — literally. Unlike us, they can’t sweat it out or ask for a cold drink, so it’s up to us to keep them safe.

🚫 Hot Cars = Hazard Zones
Leaving your pet in a parked car, even for “just a minute,” can be deadly. Temperatures can soar to over 100°F in minutes — even with the windows cracked. If your errand can't include your pet, do them a favor: let them stay home in the A/C.

🔥 Signs of Heat Stroke in Pets: See picture below for signs to watch for!

If you notice any of these signs, treat it as a medical emergency and contact your nearest urgent care veterinarian immediately.

💡 Tips to Keep Them Cool:
✅ Make sure fresh, clean water is always available
✅ Avoid midday walks (early morning or evening is best)
✅ Provide shady rest spots
✅ Never leave pets outside for long during heatwaves

Let’s make this summer safe, cool, and tail-waggingly enjoyable for all. 🐶🐱💙

📣🎆 Fireworks Can Be Frightening for Pets! 🎆📣

Loud booms, bright lights, and sudden noises might be fun for us—but for pets, they can be terrifying. With fireworks season around the corner, here are some tips to help reduce anxiety in your dog or cat:

🐾 Create a Safe Space
Set up a quiet, cozy spot in your home where your pet can retreat. Close curtains, play soft music, and keep lights low.

🐾 Keep Them Inside
Never leave pets outside during fireworks—even in a fenced yard. Frightened animals may try to escape.

🐾 Use Calming Tools
Consider anxiety wraps (like the thunder vest), pheromone diffusers, or vet-approved calming treat/medications. We're happy to make recommendations!

🐾 Stay Calm Yourself
Your pet takes cues from you—act calm and reassuring. Avoid punishing fearful behavior.

🐾 ID & Microchip Check
Make sure your pet’s ID tag is up to date just in case they get spooked and run off.

Reach out to us at 775-977-1200 if you need recommendations for your furry family member. Happy 4th of July!

While flower bouquets are stunning, not many pet owners know how toxic certain flowers are to our furry family members. 💐❎🌷❎🌹

While most pets are only exposed to these plants in the form of a bouquet, we still want to be careful as to what they have access to. Ingesting certain flowers (see 10 Spring Flowers Toxic to Pets below) can cause some of the following symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, incoordination, dermatitis, depression, abdominal pain, tremors, hypersalivation, coma, inappetence, lethargy, kidney failure, cardiovascular collapse, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death. Which symptoms happen depends on amount ingested, type of flower, & which part of the plant was ingested.

If you have a beautiful flower garden at home- be extra careful with pets who dig as the bulbs are often the most poisonous part of the plant.

If you think your pet has ingested any of the flowers listed below, please reach out to animal poison control & your nearest urgent care veterinarian for the best treatment plan.

🐶 Protect Your Pup from Heartworms! 🐾

Did you know that heartworm disease is preventable—but once contracted, it can be life-threatening for your dog? 😥

Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes, and it only takes one bite to put your furry friend at risk. The good news? Monthly heartworm prevention is easy, safe, and highly effective at keeping your dog protected. 💊🛡️

Prevention is far less expensive and much safer than treatment. Don't wait for symptoms—by then, it's expensive to treat, with added risk, and irreversible heart and lung damage.

Have questions about which prevention is best for your dog or how to get started? 📞🐕
Reach out to our team—we’re here to help!

Maintaining proper dental hygiene for your pet is essential for their overall health and well-being. ❤️🩺 Just like humans, pets can develop plaque, tartar, and gum disease if their teeth are not properly cared for. 🪥🦷
Implementing a consistent prevention plan can help prevent more advanced dental issues down the line and slow down recurrence of dental disease after a professional cleaning. 🤓
Incorporating dental chews a few times per week to a few times per month is a simple step and can be a fun bonding experience for you both!
💗👩🏻🐶👨🏻💗
There are so many options for dental treats.. and it can be overwhelming when trying to pick one out. Dr. Price's top two dental chews are OraVet chews & Yummy Combs. As with any intake, stop chews if they are negatively affecting your pets gastrointestinal tract. Visit our online pharmacy to order OraVet chews and reach out to our team with any questions🐾🐕

Later this week we will be sharing dental treats you can give to your feline family members!

National Pet Dental Health Month is celebrated every February to raise awareness about the importance of oral health for our pets. 🩺🦷🪥

Let's talk about the importance of dental health for our furry friends. Did you know that dental disease can affect not just the oral cavity but your pet's entire systemic health? That's why at-home prevention is key in slowing down dental disease. 🦷🐶🐱

Our pets don’t have those valuable opposable thumbs to manage themselves—so it’s critical we help them care for their teeth! By getting your pet in for their annual exam we can discuss current best practices for at home care and help determine if they're due for a dental cleaning or in need of dental surgery. 🐶🩺

For the month of February, we'll be sharing tips on how to implement an at-home dental care routine for your pet . 🦷🪥🐾
We'll also be showcasing some fascinating dental cases we've had. Let's work together to keep our furry friends' smiles bright and healthy! 😁❤️ 🦷
