Keep your pets inside as much as possible! 🐾

With wildfire smoke creating poor air quality across the U.S, the AVMA is reminding the public that wildfire smoke can pose serious health risks not only to people, but to pets and livestock as well.

Smoke from wildfires contains fine particles that can cause respiratory issues in animals, especially those with pre-existing heart or lung disease. Pet owners should keep a close eye on their animals during poor air quality events and contact their veterinarian if any of the following signs appear. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4wqddp3

🌞🐾 Beat the Heat!🐾🌞

Summer temperatures can become dangerous for our pets in a matter of minutes. Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency, but it's also preventable.

Keep your pets safe by:
💧 Providing plenty of fresh water
🌳 Limiting outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day
🐾 Avoiding hot pavement
🚗 Never leaving pets in a parked vehicle—even for a few minutes

⚠️ Signs of heat stroke include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, collapse, or bright red gums.

If you notice any of these signs, move your pet to a cool area and contact the nearest emergency veterinary hospital right away. Early treatment can save lives!

Stay cool, stay safe, and give your pets some extra love this summer! ❤️

Tick-borne diseases are becoming increasingly common in both people and animals across the US, making it more important than ever for veterinary and human health professionals to understand the major tick species, the diseases they transmit, and current approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

🎆 Fourth of July is right around the corner! While we may enjoy the fireworks and celebrations, many of our pets find the holiday stressful and frightening.

Here are a few ways to help keep your furry family members safe and comfortable:

🐾 Make sure collars and ID tags are up to date. Fireworks can cause even the calmest pets to panic and run.
🏠 Keep pets indoors in a secure, quiet area of your home. Close windows, curtains, and blinds to help reduce noise and flashing lights.
🎶 Play calming music or turn on the TV to help mask the sounds of fireworks.
💊 If your pet has a history of anxiety during storms or fireworks, don't wait until July 4th! Contact us now to discuss medications or calming options that may help.
🍔 Keep holiday foods out of reach. Many barbecue favorites, alcohol, and desserts can be dangerous for pets.
📸 Make sure your pet's microchip information is current and consider having a recent photo on hand, just in case.

The days leading up to and following July 4th often see an increase in lost pets. A little preparation now can make all the difference!

If you're concerned about your pet's anxiety or need help creating a holiday plan, give us a call. We're happy to help keep your pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free this Independence Day. ❤️🐶🐱

A gentle reminder from all of us at Moonbrook Veterinary Hospital ❤️

Every day, our team comes to work because we love animals and want to help the families who love them. We celebrate your new puppies and kittens, cheer for your pets during recovery, and grieve alongside you during difficult times.

Veterinary medicine can be emotionally challenging. Our doctors, technicians, assistants, receptionists, and kennel staff work long hours caring for patients, handling emergencies, and doing their best to help every pet that comes through our doors.

Lately, we've seen an increase in frustration directed toward veterinary teams across the country. We understand that when your pet is sick, worried, or uncomfortable, emotions run high. We feel those emotions too.

We simply ask that you remember there is a human being on the other side of the phone, email, or exam room door. A little patience, kindness, and understanding can make a tremendous difference.

Our staff is committed to treating every client and patient with compassion and respect, and we ask for that same courtesy in return.

Thank you to the many wonderful clients who support us, trust us, and show kindness every day. Your appreciation means more than you know, and it helps us continue doing the work we love.

🐾 Be kind. 🐾 Be patient. 🐾 We're all here for the same reason: the health and well-being of your pets.

With gratitude, The Moonbrook Veterinary Hospital Team
