🐾 When Your Pet Needs Emergency Care: A Gentle Reminder ❤️

We know that getting veterinary care when your pet is sick or injured can be stressful — and right now, our local emergency veterinary hospitals are experiencing an especially high volume of patients. Emergency clinics are sometimes reaching capacity and may need to defer non-critical cases or have extended wait times before a pet can be seen. We understand how frightening and frustrating this can feel when you’re worried about a beloved family member.

Please remember that emergency veterinary teams are doing everything they can to care for the patients in front of them. We encourage everyone to be kind, patient, and understanding with emergency hospital staff.

We encourage everyone to call ahead whenever possible. Hospital capacity can change quickly, and calling first may help you determine where your pet can receive care most appropriately. Here is a resource that may be helpful to you and your pet in your time of need.

August brings late-summer heat, increased outdoor activity, and seasonal changes that affect both cats and dogs. Here are some practical pet care tips for the month:

🐶 Dogs:

Avoid peak heat. Walk early in the morning or after sunset to reduce the risk of heat exhaustion and burned paw pads.

Keep water available. Bring fresh water on walks and outdoor adventures.

Watch for overheating. Excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse can be signs of heatstroke and require immediate veterinary attention.

Stay current on parasite prevention. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes remain active in many areas during August, so keep preventatives up to date.

Check paws after walks. Remove burrs, foxtails (where common), small stones, or cuts.

Be mindful around water. Not all dogs are strong swimmers. Use a properly fitted life jacket for boating or deep water.

🐱 Cats:

Help indoor cats stay cool. Provide shaded resting spots, cool floors, and plenty of fresh water.

Monitor outdoor cats. Make sure they have access to shade and water, and avoid letting them roam during the hottest part of the day.

Keep up flea prevention. Even indoor cats can pick up fleas from people, other pets, or open windows and doors.

Brush regularly. Removing loose fur helps reduce hairballs and can improve comfort during warm weather.

Encourage hydration. Many cats drink more from pet fountains or by having multiple water bowls around the home.

For Both Cats 🐱 and Dogs 🐶 :

Never leave a pet in a parked car. Even with the windows cracked, temperatures can become dangerous within minutes.

Maintain regular grooming. Brushing helps remove loose fur, but avoid shaving double-coated breeds unless your veterinarian recommends it.

Check ears after outdoor activities. Look for ticks, debris, or signs of infection.

Update identification. Make sure collar tags are readable and microchip information is current in case your pet gets lost during summer outings.

Watch for seasonal allergies. Excessive scratching, licking, ear infections, or watery eyes may indicate allergies and should be discussed with your veterinarian if persistent.

Keep toxic summer items out of reach. Fertilizers, insecticides, cocoa mulch, citronella products, and some garden plants can be harmful if ingested.

🎇 Does Your Pet Struggle with Fireworks? Now Is the Time to Prepare! 🐾

If your dog or cat experiences anxiety during fireworks, thunderstorms, or other loud noises, don't wait until the last minute.

Many pets benefit from prescription medications that help reduce fear and anxiety during stressful events. These medications work best when you have them on hand before the fireworks begin.

📞 If your pet has used anxiety medication in the past and needs a refill, please contact us as soon as possible.

💙 If this is your pet's first Fourth of July showing signs of noise anxiety, give us a call. We'll help determine the safest and most appropriate options for your pet.

Planning ahead can make a big difference in helping your pet stay calm, comfortable, and safe this holiday.

🎆 Keep Your Pets Safe This Fourth of July! 🐾❤️

While fireworks are fun for many people, they can be frightening—and even dangerous—for our furry family members.

Here are a few tips to help keep your pets safe:

Keep pets indoors in a secure, quiet room before fireworks begin.

🏷️ Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with current ID tags and that their microchip information is up to date.

🚪 Keep doors and gates closed, as startled pets may try to escape.

🎶 Play calming music or turn on the TV to help mask loud noises.

🍔 Keep pets away from barbecue foods, alcohol, fireworks, and glow sticks, as many holiday items can be toxic or cause digestive upset.

If your pet becomes injured or goes missing, contact your veterinarian right away.

We hope you and your pets have a safe, happy, and stress-free Fourth of July! 🎇🐶🐱

Memorial Day weekend can be stressful for pets because of cookouts, fireworks, travel, hot weather, and unfamiliar guests. Here are some practical ways to keep them safe and comfortable:

Fireworks & Loud Noise:

Keep pets indoors during fireworks, even if they normally stay outside.
Close windows, blinds, and curtains to reduce flashes and noise.
Play calming music or white noise.
Make sure ID tags and microchip information are current in case they bolt from fear.
If your pet has severe anxiety, talk to your veterinarian ahead of time about calming strategies or medications.

BBQ & Picnic Foods to Avoid:

Many holiday foods are dangerous for pets -

Avoid giving:
onions, garlic, grapes, raisins
chocolate
alcohol
corn cobs
cooked bones
fatty meats and greasy scraps
xylitol-sweetened desserts or gum
Keep trash bags and food platters secured—dogs especially may raid unattended leftovers.

Heat & Hydration:

Never leave pets in a parked car, even briefly.
Provide shade and fresh water at all times.
Walk dogs early morning or evening to avoid hot pavement.
Watch for heatstroke signs:
excessive panting
drooling
vomiting
weakness
collapse

Pool & Water Safety:

Not all dogs can swim naturally.
Supervise pets around pools, lakes, and boats.
Use a pet life jacket for boating.
Rinse chlorine or salt water off fur after swimming.

Guests & Travel:

Give pets a quiet room if gatherings become overwhelming.
Remind guests not to feed table scraps.
Keep doors and gates closed—holiday traffic increases escape risk.
If traveling:
pack food, medications, leash, vaccination records, and comfort items
never let pets ride loose in vehicles

Decorations & Outdoor Hazards:

Secure citronella torches, lighter fluid, matches, skewers, and glow sticks.
Keep bug sprays and sunscreen away unless labeled pet-safe.
Check yards for dropped food, fishing hooks, or fireworks debris after celebrations.

For emergency help in the U.S., the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center and the Pet Poison Helpline both offer 24/7 assistance.
