💧🐾 July is Pet Hydration Awareness Month! 🐾💧

With these hot summer temperatures, keeping your pets hydrated is more important than ever. Just like us, dogs and cats can become dehydrated quickly, and heat-related illnesses can become life-threatening in a short amount of time.

Here are a few ways to help keep your furry family members safe:
💦 Make sure they always have access to fresh, clean water.
🌳 Provide plenty of shade if they’re spending time outdoors.
🚶‍♀️ Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler.
🚗 Never leave your pet in a parked vehicle—even for a few minutes.
🏖️ Bring water along on walks, hikes, and trips to the park.

⚠️ Signs of dehydration and heat stress include:
• Excessive panting
• Thick or sticky saliva
• Dry gums
• Lethargy or weakness
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Sunken eyes
• Collapse or difficulty standing

If your pet is showing signs of overheating, move them to a cool area, offer small amounts of cool (not ice-cold) water, and contact your veterinarian immediately. Heatstroke is a medical emergency and can become fatal if not treated promptly.

If you have any questions or are concerned your pet may be dehydrated or suffering from heat stress, give us a call—we’re here to help! (307)324-9999

🐍 Rattlesnake Season Is Here! 🐍

We’ve already treated several dogs for rattlesnake bites this season, and we want to remind pet owners that prevention and preparation can make a big difference.

The rattlesnake vaccine is designed to help reduce the severity of symptoms if your dog is bitten by a rattlesnake. While it does not prevent a bite and is not a substitute for emergency veterinary care, vaccinated dogs may experience:

✔️ Less severe swelling and tissue damage
✔️ Reduced pain and discomfort
✔️ More time to seek veterinary treatment
✔️ Improved response to medical care

Dogs that hike, hunt, camp, accompany their owners outdoors, or live in areas where rattlesnakes are common may especially benefit from vaccination.

Vaccine Schedule:
💉 The initial rattlesnake vaccine requires a booster in 1 month, followed by annual vaccination to help maintain protection.

If your dog is bitten by a rattlesnake, seek veterinary care immediately—even if they have received the vaccine.

No appointment is needed for the rattlesnake vaccine! Just stop by the clinic before 4:30 PM, and we’ll be happy to get your dog protected for the season.

Stay safe and keep those pups protected this summer! ☀️🐾

Another consequence of Wyoming's abnormally warm winter is a much earlier tick season. Entomologist Mikenna Smith says not only are ticks out and about…

03/23/2026

Tick season is already here… and yes, we’re already finding them on pets in our area 🐾

With the large deer population around Rawlins, ticks are especially common—deer are one of the biggest carriers and help spread ticks into yards, neighborhoods, and trails.

In our area, the most common ticks we see are the American Dog Tick. These aren’t just a nuisance—they can carry diseases that affect both pets and people.

Where to check your pet:
✔️ Around and in the ears and under the collar
✔️ Between toes
✔️ Under the tail
✔️ Armpits (front legs)
✔️ Around the eyes and lips

Ticks love warm, hidden areas—so make sure to do a full-body check after your pet has been outside, especially if they’ve been in grass, brush, or near deer activity.

What you can do:
• Keep pets on a monthly flea & tick prevention
• Check your pets daily
• Remove ticks promptly (or let us help!)

If you find a tick or have questions about prevention, give us a call—we’re here to help keep your pets safe all season long 💚
