Remember how your pets acted during the bad storms we just experienced? If they were anxious, destructive, scared, clingy or just terrified then think ahead and make sure they'll be okay with fireworks that will become a constant nightly even soon.
We encourage training and preparing a calming setup in a quite place like a basement, bathroom, or a windowless inner room. Keep distractions available like filled kong toys or puzzle feeder toys to occupy their minds. Put their comfort items in there too like their bed, favorite stuffed toy and even a piece of clothing that smells like you.
If your pet needs subtle calming assistance then we advise feliway, adaptil, thunder shirts or solliquin. All are non-medicinal soothing options that do not sedated your pets.
If your pet is destructive, terrified and a danger when scared of fireworks we recommend 1 or 2 f the above options and an appropriate medicine from your vet. It is important to note, OTC meds like CBD, may have no regulatory oversite to give researched accurate dosing or quality control of the product or list drug interactions if your pet is on any other meds. Sometimes CBD elicits the exact opposite effects on your pets so use with extreme caution. NEVER us ma*****na or blow smoke in your pets face as the THC component is toxic to them.
Call your vet NOW to discuss supplements, pheramones or medications for storm and firework phobias and make sure your pets are okay for the upcoming holiday events

Due to expected severe weather we will be closing at 2:30 today so that our staff can be safe at home by the time the weather hits.

Pick up meds for storm stress NOW to be in their system before the storm hits.

Stay safe. Make sure to have bottled water ready and a flashlight. Use a sharpie marker to write your pets name and your phone number on their collar (can be wrote on the inside of the collar or outside depending on decoration/patterns on their collar). Make sure their microchip is registered online with your current information!

Summer vacation is in full swing but after a few muggy hot days and ALL the standing water there are more risks associated with jumping in the water too.
Knowledge is a great thing. Prevent issues when possible by knowing what to look out for.

🔥 Know the signs of heat stroke! Recognize the early symptoms like panting non-stop where the pet is physically unable to stop panting even for a treat. Weak and may be unable to walk normally anymore.
🛁 You can rinse your pet down in tepid water, NOT cold water, to help dispurse the heat away from the skin and fur. Also, put the animal in front of a fan for evaporative cooling. Only offer drinking water once they have cooled down enough to control their panting so they do not aspirate on it.
⚠️ If you cannot catch the early signs of heat stroke it can turn fatal quick. Call your veterinarian or closest emergency veterinarian to tell them you are on your way so that they may have treatments ready by the time you arrive. Calling ahead also ensures the veterinarian is not in surgery or otherwise unable to help your pet and you can reroute to an emergency urgent care clinic if necessary for the quickest treatment possible.
