Summer means more time outside and more exposure to fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.

Year-round prevention is the easiest way to keep your pet protected. Skipping months or waiting until you see a problem leaves your pet vulnerable.

Today we honor the pets who are no longer with us but remain forever in our hearts.

They may be gone, but the love they gave us stays. The paw prints they left behind are permanent.

If you've loved and lost a pet, we're thinking of you today.

If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

Asphalt can reach 150°F when the air is only 85°F. That's hot enough to cause burns in seconds.

Quick Test: Place the back of your hand on the pavement for 5 seconds. If you can't keep it there, neither can your dog.

Walk early, walk late, or walk on grass!

Happy National Hug Your Cat Day!

(Or, if your cat prefers, a respectful head scratch from a safe distance.)

However your cat likes to be loved, today is all about celebrating them. Drop a photo of your feline friend in the comments!

Summer is officially here and so is the heat.

Pets can overheat quickly, especially flat-faced breeds, senior pets, and those with thick coats. Watch for:

- Heavy panting
- Excessive drooling
- Lethargy and/or weakness
- Vomiting

If you notice these signs, move your pet to a cool area and call us right away.

Senior pets hold a special place in our hearts.

As pets age, their health needs change. More frequent exams and bloodwork help us catch issues early and keep them comfortable.

If your senior pet is due for a check-in, we would love to see them.
