Storms & Fireworks: Helping Your Pets Feel Safe
Summer brings lots of things we love—BBQs, fireworks, and cozy thunderstorms. But for many pets, loud noises and flashing lights can cause serious anxiety. 🐶🐱💥
Here’s how you can help your pets feel safe and secure during stormy nights and fireworks season:
Prep Your Home:
• Create a Safe Space: A quiet room, crate, or closet with their bed and favorite toys. Think of it as a cozy bunker.
• Sound Soothers: Play white noise, soft music, or leave the TV on to help mask outside noise.
• Block the Flash: Close curtains and blinds to reduce lightning or firework flashes.
• Secure All Exits: Scared pets can bolt—make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure.
🐾 Support Your Pet:
• Stay Calm Yourself: Pets feed off your energy—stay relaxed and act normal.
• Use Calming Aids: Ask us about anxiety vests, pheromone sprays, or prescription meds if needed.
• Keep ID Tags On: In case they do get out, make sure microchips and tags are up to date
📞 Need help preparing or want to talk about medication options? Call us—we’re happy to help your pets feel safe this summer!

Please do not wait until next week to seek help for your animals. July 4th is notorious for animals running away. Use extra precautions- double leash, take out before dark, sound machines, industrial fans, diffusing safe essential oils, CBD, calming supplements, medication if necessary. This is by far the most heart wrenching holiday in the pet care world. 💔🐾

In the wake of the recent flooding and ongoing wet weather, please read. This serious bacterial disease can affect dogs, wildlife, and even humans — and we want to help you keep your pets safe.

🔬 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙇𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙨?
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can cause severe illness, including liver and kidney failure.
​
💧It is commonly spread through contaminated water (like puddles and floodwater) and urine from rodents such as rats, mice and other wildlife.
​
💧While cats can contract it, this is extremely rare. Dogs are the most vulnerable.
​
💧It is also zoonotic, meaning it can spread to humans — particularly risky for children, the elderly, or anyone immunocompromised.
​
⚠️ 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗼𝗴𝘀:
Symptoms can be vague but may include:
• Fever
• Vomiting and diarrhea
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Jaundice (yellowing of gums or eyes)
• Increased drinking and urination
​

​
✅ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝘁:
• Avoid letting pets drink from puddles or play in flood water
• Prevent dogs from consuming deceased rodents
• Wash paws after wet walks
• MOST IMPORTANTLY—Ensure your dog is up to date with their Leptospirosis vaccine
​

​
(Note: There is currently no Leptospirosis vaccine available for cats.)

We will be experiencing extreme heat in the coming days/weeks, so please be sure to keep your pups safe! Dogs can't cool down as effectively as we can, making them more susceptible to heat-related issues. Keep your dogs inside and opt for early morning walks.

If you suspect your dog is experiencing heat stroke, take immediate action by contacting your veterinarian for guidance.
