The sun is out! Weather is beautiful. Warm breeze. Hot food on the grill. Don't forget, pets get HOT TOO! With the start of Summer in Tennessee we are warning our friends about the dangers it can present to our fluffy children. They can not tolerate heat the way we do, they sweat differently, most are wearing fur coats, and they can not tell you when they are too hot. Breeds with short noses, elderly pets, pets with endocrine diseases, and young pets are especially at risk for complications due to heat. This summer please think about the heat from a different perspective, one with four feet. We are glad to post some tips from the Texas ASPCA that we find particularly helpful. Please make sure you have your pet's emergency numbers close at hand for emergencies this summer. Our number is 865-986-9075. The Knoxville ER is 865-693-4440, and the Chattanooga ER is 423-698-4612. Stay Safe!

With the coming holiday weekend we want to remind our clients that Summer's official kicking off and with it comes some important concerns for our fur babies. In addition to the heat and potential for heat stroke, storms and phobias, fireworks and noise fears, there is an increased risk for gastrointestinal diseases due to stress and inappropriate dietary goodies. Please keep your pets safe this summer by keeping then cool, hydrated, on their regular diets, and refill any anxiety medications needed for storms and fireworks before they are needed. HAVE A FUN AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY!
