🐾💙 Celebrating our LVT's for National Veterinary Technician Week! 💙🐾

Behind every patient we treat is a team of dedicated veterinary professionals who bring knowledge, skill, compassion, and an incredible amount of heart to their work.

At Mid-Columbia Pet Emergency Services, our Licensed Veterinary Technicians are an essential part of everything we do. From monitoring critical patients and assisting with lifesaving treatments to comforting frightened pets and supporting worried families, they show up every day ready to make a difference.

Emergency medicine isn't always easy. It requires quick thinking, adaptability, teamwork, emotional strength, and the ability to keep showing compassion even on the hardest days. Our team brings those qualities to work every single shift, often in moments our clients never get to see.

To our incredible team: thank you for your dedication, your expertise, your resilience, and the care you give our patients and one another. The work you do matters, and we are so proud to have you as part of MCPES. 💙

💧🐾 Is Your Pet Getting Enough Water? 🐾💧

As summer temperatures climb, dehydration can become a serious concern for pets. Whether they're spending more time outdoors, exercising, traveling, or recovering from an illness, pets can lose fluids faster than many owners realize.

Common signs of dehydration may include:
💧 Dry or tacky gums
💧 Excessive panting
💧 Lethargy or weakness
💧 Loss of appetite
💧 Sunken eyes

Recognizing these warning signs early can help prevent dehydration from becoming a more serious medical emergency.

If you notice symptoms of dehydration or have concerns about your pet's hydration status, don't hesitate to contact your veterinarian or seek emergency veterinary care with us at Mid-Columbia PES.

A little extra water, shade, and monitoring can go a long way toward keeping your pet safe and healthy this summer! ☀️💙

🚤🐾 Boating & Water Safety for Pets 🐾🌊

Whether you're spending the day on a boat, at the river, or by the pool, water activities can be a great way to enjoy the summer together. Taking a few extra precautions can help keep your pet safe while having fun in and around the water.

Here are a few important water safety tips:

🦺 Consider a properly fitted life jacket, even for pets that know how to swim.

☀️ Provide plenty of fresh water and shade to help prevent dehydration and heat-related illnesses.

🐾 Never leave pets unattended near water, especially around pools, docks, or moving boats.

🌊 Be mindful of strong currents, waves, and water conditions that could tire your pet quickly.

🏊 Rinse your pet after swimming to remove chlorine, salt, algae, or other irritants from their skin and coat.

🚨 Watch for signs of distress, exhaustion, or water intoxication, and seek veterinary care if you have concerns.

Summer adventures are always better when everyone stays safe!

🎆 Fireworks Are Fun for People, but Not Always for Pets 🎆

With Independence Day right around the corner, now is the time to start preparing your pets for the sounds and stress that fireworks can bring.

Many pets experience anxiety during fireworks displays, which can lead to:
🐾 Pacing or trembling
🐾 Excessive panting
🐾 Hiding
🐾 Vocalizing
🐾 Destructive behavior
🐾 Attempts to escape

If your pet has a history of noise anxiety, don't wait until the fireworks start. Prescription medications and other calming options are often most effective when planned ahead of time.

📞 Contact your primary veterinarian or our team before the holiday if you think your pet may benefit from anti-anxiety medication or a calming plan.

Additional ways to help your pet:
✔️ Keep pets indoors in a secure area
✔️ Ensure collars and ID tags are up to date
✔️ Provide a safe, comfortable space to retreat
✔️ Close windows and curtains
✔️ Play calming music or white noise to help mask outside sounds

A little preparation can make a big difference in helping your pet feel safe and comfortable this holiday.

🐶🐱 If you have questions about fireworks anxiety or need assistance, we're here to help.
