🥕 Happy Eat Your Vegetables Day! 🥦
Veggies aren’t just good for us—they can be healthy (and tasty!) snacks for pets too! Many dogs and even some cats enjoy treats like:

🧡 Carrots
💚 Green beans
🧡 Sweet potatoes
💚 Zucchini
🧡 Peas

But be sure to skip the onions, garlic, mushrooms, and raw potatoes—those can be harmful to pets.
Always serve veggies plain (no butter, salt, or seasoning), and ask us if you're unsure about a new snack!

What’s your pet’s favorite veggie? 🥬🐾

🐾 June is Adopt a Cat Month! 🐱💙
Thinking about adding a feline friend to your family? Now is the purrfect time to adopt! Every year, thousands of amazing cats and kittens end up in shelters—each one waiting for a loving home to call their own.
✨ Here’s why adoption is the cat’s meow:
🐾 You’re giving a cat a second chance at life
🐾 Many shelter cats are already spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped
🐾 Adoption fees are often lower than the cost of buying from a breeder
🐾 You’ll help reduce pet overpopulation
🐾 Shelters have cats of all ages, personalities, and breeds—there’s a match for everyone!
When you adopt, you’re not just gaining a pet—you’re saving a life and making room for another cat in need.
Already share your life with a shelter kitty? We’d love to see their sweet faces in the comments! 🐈‍⬛🐾

🔥Did you know pets can overheat faster than humans? Even at 75°F (24°C), cars, pavement, and direct sun can become dangerous. By 85°F (29°C), heatstroke risk skyrockets.

🚨 Signs of Heatstroke:
Excessive panting/drooling
Bright red gums
Lethargy or collapse
Vomiting/diarrhea
Seizures

🆘 Emergency Action:
Move them to shade/cool area immediately
Offer small amounts of cool (not icy!) water
Use lukewarm towels on paws/groin – NEVER ice baths!
Call us or an ER ASAP – Heatstroke is deadly without fast treatment.

💡 Prevention Tips:
Walk pets in early morning/late evening
Test pavement with your hand (5-second rule!)
Keep indoor pets in AC/with fans
Always provide shade & water outdoors



P.S. Brachy breeds (pugs, bulldogs, etc.) and senior pets are at HIGHEST risk! Extra caution needed. ❤️
