As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heatstroke in our pets and it can happen faster than you think!

Dogs and cats don’t cool down the same way we do, making them especially vulnerable on warm days.

🚨 Know the warning signs:

- Excessive panting or drooling
- Lethargy or weakness
-Vomiting or diarrhea
-Bright red gums or tongue
-Collapse or disorientation

💡 Prevention is key:

-Never leave pets in a parked car, even for a minute
-Provide fresh water and plenty of shade
-Avoid midday walks; opt for early morning or evening
-Test pavement with your hand, it should be cool enough for paws

If you suspect heatstroke, seek veterinary care immediately. It’s a medical emergency.

At Prairie Side Veterinary Hospital, we’re here to help keep your pets safe, happy, and cool all summer long.

Happy Pet Appreciation Week!

This week, we’re celebrating the unconditional love, joy, and companionship our pets bring into our lives every single day.

From wagging tails and happy purrs to muddy paws and silly antics, our furry (and feathered or scaly!) friends make every moment better.

At Prairie Side Veterinary Hospital, we’re honored to care for your beloved companions and support their health and happiness all year long.

Pet Appreciation Week is the perfect reminder to:
✨ Spend a little extra quality time together
✨ Treat them to their favorite toy or snack
✨ Schedule a wellness check to keep them feeling their best

Looking ahead to the weekend? It’s a great time to check one thing off your list, your pet’s health and wellness.

We have a few appointment spots open this Saturday for exams, vaccinations, and anything else your furry friend might need. Weekend visits can be a convenient way to stay on top of care without the weekday rush.

Give us a call or request an appointment online, we’d love to see you and your pet! 🐶🐱✨

Wisconsin is starting to warm up, so it is important to remember that even the mildest temps can quickly become dangerous inside of a parked car, putting your pet at serious risk in just minutes.

Even cracking the windows or parking in the shade does not keep your pet safe. Dogs and cats can’t regulate heat the same way we do, and heatstroke can happen fast.

👉 Please never leave your pet unattended in a parked car, even for a “quick” trip inside.

If you see an animal left alone in a vehicle and in distress, contact local authorities immediately.

Let’s work together to keep our pets safe, happy, and healthy all year long!

Last week we celebrated Veterinary Assistant Appreciation Week with our amazing veterinary assistants: Mandy, Caitlyn, Crystal, Jessika, and Sarah- all who help keep Prairie Side Veterinary Hospital - Kenosha running each and every day.

From patient care and comforting nervous pets to assisting in procedures, monitoring anesthesia, handling treatments, and being there for our clients , our assistants do it all, and we are so grateful for their dedication, compassion, and teamwork.

These photos capture some of our team members “in the wild” doing what they do best!

To top off the week, our veterinary assistants completed RECOVER CPR certification training hosted by BluePearl Pet Hospital on Friday, continuing our commitment to providing the highest level of care to our patients.

Thank you to our incredible assistants for everything you do for our patients, clients, and team every single day.
