Heat can be hazardous for dogs. If they are panting hard, drooling excessively, or losing coordination, there is a chance that your dog is experiencing heat stroke. Immediately bring your dog inside the air conditioning, pour cool (not ice-cold) water over them, and take them directly to an emergency veterinary clinic. Heat stroke can be fatal and can come on very quickly, so it’s best not to take chances.

☀Heat Stroke Warning Signs & Prevention ☀
To keep pets safe during hot weather, it's crucial to prevent overheating and heatstroke. This involves keeping pets indoors, especially during extreme heat, providing ample shade outdoors, ensuring access to cool water, and avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day.

What Your Dog’s Tongue Can Tell You 🐶👅
Explore how Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) uses tongue diagnosis to assess your dog’s health. Interesting, right?!

Tongue diagnosis is a key tool in TCVM. By examining the tongue's color, shape, size, moisture, and coating, practitioners can detect internal imbalances and organ function.

Tongue Color
🟥 Pale Tongue – Blood or Qi deficiency
🔴 Red Tongue – Heat or inflammation
🟣 Purple/Blue Tongue – Poor circulation or blood stagnation

Tongue Shape & Size
👅 Swollen Tongue – Dampness or spleen deficiency
👅 Thin Tongue – Blood deficiency or dehydration
👅 Cracks – Long-term imbalance or Yin deficiency

Tongue Coating
🌫 Thick Coating – Excess heat, dampness, or digestive imbalance
🌫 Thin or Absent Coating – Deficiency or chronic condition
🌫 Greasy or Slippery Coating – Dampness or phlegm accumulation
