Happy National Dog Day!!!!

08/20/2025

Please remember to take care of your pets in this summer heat.

It's obvious that you should not leave your dog in a hot car, but we often forget about the hot pavement.

The sun can heat up the concrete and asphalt to crazy high temperatures that can burn and blister your dog's paw pads.

If it's too hot for your hand it could be too hot for your dog's paws.

Headed to or hosting a barbecue or two this weekend? If you're bringing your pup along, it might be tempting to let him or her indulge in some tasty treats, keep in mind that ingredients like onions, garlic, chocolate and alcohol are toxic for dogs. If you're unsure if it's a safe food, err on the side of caution and don't give it to your best bud. Maybe bring a few of their favorite regular treats along to avoid the stare of betrayal. 😊

Oh boy, it's cheat grass season. These little seeds can embed in our pets' eyes, throat, ear canals, and between their toes, as well as other places. Once embedded they are super painful and usually need to be removed with sedation. After hikes or walks, check your pets for seeds that may be between their toes or lying on their coat. Some things to watch for include sneezing, head shaking or pawing at ears, licking at paws, eye discharge and squinting. If you're noticing any of these signs, we should take a look!
