🔥 If You Can’t Walk Barefoot, Neither Can They. 🔥

By midday, pavement can reach over 130°F, hot enough to cause severe burns to your dog’s paws in seconds.

Test it: Place the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. Too hot for you? It’s too hot for them.

✅ Walk early. Stay safe.
❌ Midday walks = painful paws, ER visits, and preventable injuries.

We treat paw burns every summer. Let’s make this one different.

Bearded dragons are hardy pets—but when their environment isn’t right, it can lead to serious health problems. 🦎

From proper lighting and temperature to safe substrate and a balanced diet, good husbandry is the key to a happy, healthy beardie. Poor care is one of the top reasons we see reptiles in our emergency clinic!

⚠️ Not eating? Lethargic? Trouble shedding?
If your bearded dragon isn’t acting like their usual self, don’t wait—bring them in.

🐾 MYTH BUSTER! 🐾
Myth: A dry nose means your dog or cat is sick.
Truth: Not always!

A dry nose doesn’t automatically mean your pet is unwell. Their nose can change throughout the day depending on things like the weather, sleep, or even room temperature.

✅ What's more important?
Look out for changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or other unusual symptoms. If you notice anything concerning, that’s your sign to call your vet or head to the ER.
