Did you know that more pets go missing around July 4th than any other time of year? Fireworks are incredibly scary for animals and even the most well behaved pets can panic and run away. Make sure you have your pet's microchip information up to date. Keeping your pets inside and away from fireworks will help them stay home. Don't wait until the last minute to contact your veterinarian for medications to help with your pet's anxiety. If your veterinarian cannot see your pet before the 4th of July, give us a call at 574-259-8387 to schedule an appointment or to come in on a same day walk in basis!

Protect your pets during this record heatwave by following some simple guidelines:
Limit trips outdoors, always have cool, fresh water available at all times, avoid walking on hot pavement, and never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle.

Stay aware of the signs of heat-related illness. Pets that are very young, elderly, or brachycephalic (such as pugs, French bulldogs, Persian cats, etc.) are particularly vulnerable to heat stroke. Symptoms may include excessive panting, bright red gums, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and collapse. Recognizing these signs and administering prompt treatment can be life saving!

As the weather warms, we are observing an increase in cases of heatstroke in dogs. Heatstroke occurs when a dog's body temperature rises to dangerous levels—typically 105 degrees Fahrenheit or higher—and the dog is unable to regulate its temperature effectively. Normal body temperature for dogs is 99.5 - 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is important to note that heatstroke can occur not only from being confined in a hot vehicle but also from simply lying in direct sunlight within your home. Common signs of heatstroke include elevated body temperature, heavy panting, extreme lethargy or collapse, vomiting, and diarrhea. If left untreated, heatstroke can cause serious organ damage or failure and may be fatal.
Certain factors can predispose dogs to heatstroke, including obesity and brachycephalic breeds such as Pugs, French Bulldogs, Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers. Proactive measures are essential in keeping your dogs safe during warm weather. Limit outdoor exposure to short periods, ensure access to ample water, and provide shaded areas if your dog is outside.
If you suspect your dog is experiencing heatstroke, seek immediate veterinary care. Please contact us at 574-259-8387 with any questions or concerns.
