Extreme Heat Warning is in effect in our county until 9:00pm with a heat index up to 105. 🌡
Heatstroke is our biggest concern for pets on days like today. Heatstroke occurs when your pet's body temperature rises to a dangerous level and is unable to cool down. This can happen quickly during hot or humid weather. Signs to look out for in dogs and cats include excessive panting, difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, sudden collapse, and even seizures.
Overweight pets, senior pets, short-muzzled or short-faced dogs and cats, and pets with heart or lung conditions are more prone to developing heatstroke than others. Please use caution when taking your pets out today and be sure to provide plenty of water. If you suspect your pet is experiencing symptoms of a heatstroke, call us or your nearest emergency clinic immediately.
