Here we go again! Summer in the city ain’t that pretty when you are a dog! When temps soar like they will in the next few days, following a few simple guidelines will keep your pup safe.

First and foremost do not leave your dog outside unattended- no backyard while you’re not home!
Our Percy would literally mistakenly bake himself to death if given the chance!

Sidewalks are hot, concrete is hot! It’s hot at 75 degrees, now 95 degrees??? Forgetaboutit!!! if it’s too hot for the palm of your hand it’s waaay too hot for their little cute pads. If you have access to grass stick to it, if you can carry your dog to grass, do it! I don’t make the rules! I just follow them! Pick that 60lb dog up and walk to shore road, it’s your cardio for the week! Jk. Keep walks all business, go out for a 💩 a p*e and skedaddle back inside. A short walk never killed anyone!

Panting, drooling, unsteady legs, racing heart, vomiting/diarrhea & excessive thirst? Yes these are all signs of a major night out for humans but they are also signs of heatstroke in your dog! If this should happen move your dog to a cool area, offer small amounts of tepid water, soak fur with cool -NOT COLD water, place near a breeze or fan. If worried that your dog is not coming around call VERG in Brooklyn and get your pup there like yesterday!
196-4th Avenue (718) 522-9400

NEVER leave your precious & sweet dog in a car. If you do someone will break the window, steal your dog, videos will be all over the internet and you will never live it down. And if that doesn’t happen your dog will die a painful and agonising death. So just don’t do it.

Walks in the morning, walks in the evening, p*e breaks in the afternoon! (Did I just write a hit song?)

Water with ice cubes is nice!

Moving on to our outdoor wildlife in Bay Ridge, if you can put out some water and food for our feathered and furry dwellers it’s always appreciated! If a squirrel can drink some water and eat some nuts, a bird able to enjoy some seed, a skunk able eat some berries or whatever they like, a community cat able to have some kibble without having to forage- you are doing a small kindness that gives you good karma points and just makes life easier for our littlest Brooklynites!

Next up, the fireworks Armageddon! ugh…

Dogs die. But dogs live, too.
Right up until they die, they live.
They live brave, beautiful lives.
They protect their families. And love us.
And make our lives a little brighter.
And they don't waste time
being afraid of tomorrow ..

Dixie's story is one of hope and redemption. Despite being used as a bait dog and left for dead, she never lost her will to live and love. She touched the lives of everyone she met, including her furry and human family, and will always be remembered as a symbol of courage and resilience. RIP sweet girl, 10/6/24 will be 11 years that you are gone, I will always share her story, she was just the sweetest…

Our beloved dog

As temperatures start to get cooler, animals will seek shelter in non ideal locations.

Please NEVER use sticky traps or rodenticides. They are inhumane and the animal suffers a slow and painful death.

Some other humane options are:

*Peppermint Oil
*Rodent Repellent sprays sold online
*Irish Spring bars cut up
*Catch & Release Mouse Traps

"Why I shouldnt walk and run beside you today. Because I am a loyal dog, I often go beyond my limits. So I walk and run beside you, standing still if I have to. All while I feel my paws burning. Even as little as 5 minutes can be fatal to me and to my paws. My whole body starts boiling, but I’ll keep going because I am as loyal as loyal comes. I depend on you to know what’s in my best interest. So instead, let me stay at home where I can enjoy the sun, with a large bowl of water, somewhere in the shade. A cool area with grass would be best. With all the love I have in the whole world - I give it all to you - Love your dog 🩷🐾 "
