Hot and muggy conditions will return next week. Heat index from 100 to 105 degrees is expected.☀️🐕

And while you might love the sunshine, your pup could be at risk. This quick-reference chart helps you know when it’s safe to play — and when it’s time to stay inside.

✅ Temps under 70°F? Go have fun!

⚠️ Hitting 80°F or higher? Time to get cautious.

❌ 90°F+? Keep walks quick, stay in the shade, and provide plenty of water if going out.

Remember: overweight pups, senior dogs, and short-nosed breeds are extra sensitive to heat! 🔥

It's going to be very warm this week!☀️🔥🥵

Here’s a clear, helpful guide on pets and heatstroke summer safety to keep your furry friends safe in the heat:

⸻

🐾 Summer Heat Safety Tips for Pets

🔥 What is Heatstroke?

Heatstroke happens when a pet’s body temperature rises dangerously high and they can’t cool down. It can be life-threatening within minutes.

⸻

🚨 Signs of Heatstroke in Pets

Watch for these symptoms:
• Heavy panting or rapid breathing
• Drooling or foaming at the mouth
• Bright red gums or tongue
• Weakness or collapse
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Confusion or glassy eyes

🐶 Dogs with flat faces (like pugs, bulldogs) and older, overweight, or sick pets are especially at risk.

⸻

✅ Prevention Tips

🕶️ Keep Cool
• Limit walks to early morning or late evening.
• Always walk on grass or shaded paths; hot pavement can burn paws.
• Provide shade and fresh water at all times.

🚗 Never Leave Pets in Cars
• Even with windows cracked, a car can hit 120°F in minutes.
• It’s illegal under certain conditions, and possibly deadly.

🐕‍🦺 Exercise Smart
• Avoid intense play or long walks in the heat.
• Take breaks often and bring water.

💦 Help Them Chill
• Provide a kiddie pool or cooling mat.
• Freeze treats or use ice cubes in water bowls.
• Use a damp towel or misting spray for quick cooling.

⸻

💊 What to Do if You Suspect Heatstroke
1. Move your pet to a cool place immediately.
2. Wet them with cool (not cold) water.
3. Offer small amounts of water to drink.
4. Get to a vet hospital right away—heatstroke is a medical emergency.

🐾 Bonus Tip: Know Your Pet

Each pet handles heat differently. Watch their behavior and adjust their routine as needed.

Just a reminder that the 4th of July is next weekend! This is the time to ensure pets are microchipped, your microchip information is current, pets are wearing well fitting collars with proper identification and that you have enough medication from your vet if necessary. More dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other time. Plan ahead to ensure your pet is not one of them 🎆

⚠️Reminder: Pets must be up to date on an exam to fill prescriptions. Prescriptions must be called in before Wednesday, July 2nd by 2 pm to be ready to be picked up next day. We will be closed Friday, July 4th.

🐶👂 Ear Infections in Pets:
What Every Pet Owner Needs to Know!
Ear infections are one of the most common issues in veterinary medicine. If you’ve ever noticed your pet shaking their head, scratching their ears, or developing a funky smell, you might be dealing with an ear infection.

🚨 But here’s the truth: Ear infections aren’t just annoying—they can be painful, chronic, and even lead to permanent damage if left untreated. Home remedies won’t cut it, and here’s why.

🛑 Signs & Symptoms of an Ear Infection
🐾 Shaking their head constantly
🐾 Scratching or pawing at their ears
🐾 Red, inflamed ear canals
🐾 A strong, ye**ty, or foul odor
🐾 Brown, yellow, or black discharge
🐾 Pain or sensitivity when touched
🐾 Tilting their head to one side
🐾 Loss of balance (severe cases)

Many owners don’t notice an infection until it’s already severe—especially in dogs with floppy ears or long hair covering their ear canals (like Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Golden Retrievers, Poodles and Poodle Mixes). By the time you see symptoms, it’s already causing pain and inflammation.
🦠 What Causes Ear Infections?
Ear infections are usually caused by bacteria, yeast, or a combination of both. But what triggers them in the first place?

❌ Moisture & Water Trapped in the Ears – Perfect breeding ground for bacteria & yeast (think swimming or bathing!)
❌ Allergies – Food or environmental allergies can trigger chronic ear infections
❌ Excess Ear Wax – Some breeds naturally produce more wax, leading to buildup
❌ Ear Mites – More common in cats, but can cause intense itching & infections
❌ Underlying Health Issues – Hormonal imbalances (like hypothyroidism) can make pets more prone to infections

⚠️ Why Home Treatments Are a Bad Idea
We get it—no one wants to rush to the vet if they don’t have to. But here’s the problem:

🚫 Apple cider vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or coconut oil WON’T fix an infection
🚫 Over-the-counter ear drops often just mask symptoms
🚫 Cleaning the ears too aggressively can make things worse

Many ear infections are deep inside the ear canal, where home remedies can’t reach. Worse—if the eardrum is ruptured (which you can’t see at home), putting anything in the ear could cause permanent damage or deafness!

The ONLY way to properly treat an ear infection is with vet-prescribed medication targeted for the specific cause (bacterial, yeast, or both).

🩺 What Happens at the Vet?
✅ Ear Exam: Your vet will use an otoscope to look deep inside the ear canal.
✅ Ear Swab & Cytology: A sample of the discharge will be examined under a microscope to see if it’s bacteria, yeast, or mites.
✅ Treatment Plan: Your vet will prescribe medicated ear drops, cleaners, or oral medications based on what’s causing the infection.

Mild infections clear up quickly with treatment, but severe or chronic infections may require weeks of medication—and sometimes even sedation to flush out the ear.

🐾 Preventing Ear Infections
✔️ Keep ears dry! Always dry your dog’s ears after swimming or bathing.
✔️ Routine ear cleaning. Use a vet-approved ear cleaner (not hydrogen peroxide!) to remove excess wax.
✔️ Treat underlying allergies. If your pet has chronic infections, they may need an allergy workup.
✔️ Regular vet check-ups. Catch problems early before they become painful and severe.
