☀️🔥 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗢𝗣𝗩𝗠𝗖 🔥☀️

With Heat Advisories and Extreme Heat Warnings in effect this week, the risk of heat stroke in pets is dangerously high. Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency, and unfortunately, we see far too many cases during extreme weather.

🐶 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲. When temperatures climb above 80°F, outdoor time should be limited to quick bathroom breaks only.

🏖️ 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀, 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀, 𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀' 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁. Flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds—such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and French Bulldogs—as well as senior pets, overweight pets, and those with heart or respiratory disease are especially vulnerable.

🌅 If your dog needs exercise, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘁, when temperatures are much cooler.

🐾 Before heading outside, 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 for 7 seconds. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your pet's paws.

💦 If your dog enjoys swimming and has safe access to a pool or other pet-friendly body of water, it's a great way to help them cool off.

🚨 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• Excessive panting
• Bright red or pale gums
• Drooling
• Weakness or collapse
• Vomiting or diarrhea

Some of our favorite coworkers have four legs, wagging tails, and a tendency to demand snack breaks every 15 minutes.

Today we're celebrating the dogs who keep us company, brighten our days, make every meeting more exciting, and remind us to take a moment to enjoy the simple things. Whether they're supervising from under a desk, greeting coworkers at the door, or "helping" with tasks around the office, dogs have a special way of making work a little more fun.

Last Wednesday, we celebrated DVM Appreciation Day at OPVMC and we couldn't let the week pass without recognizing our incredible veterinarians once again.

Every day, our DVMs bring compassion, expertise, dedication, and countless hours of hard work to the patients and families who trust us with their care. Whether they're providing routine wellness care, managing complex cases, performing life-saving procedures, or offering comfort during difficult moments, they make a difference in the lives of pets and people alike.

We are truly grateful for everything they do to support our patients, clients, and team. Their commitment, knowledge, and kindness help make OPVMC the special place it is.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! 💙 Leave a comment below sharing a kind word, favorite memory, or message of thanks for our amazing veterinarians. We know they'd love to hear how they've impacted you and your pets!

🌈 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗢𝗣𝗩𝗠𝗖! 🐾

This Pride Month, we're celebrating the incredible bond between people and their pets. A connection built on love, trust, comfort, and companionship.

Our pets don't care who we are, where we come from, or what our families look like. They simply love us for being us. Whether they're greeting us at the door after a long day, making us laugh with their silly antics, or curling up beside us when we need support, pets have a unique way of bringing people together and reminding us of the importance of acceptance and unconditional love.

At Orchard Park Veterinary Medical Center, we're proud to care for pets and the people who love them. We are committed to creating a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment where every client, every family, and every pet receives compassionate care.

This month, and every month, we celebrate the diversity that makes our community stronger, and the animals who make our lives brighter. 💖🐶🐱🐰🦜🦎

Happy Pride Month from all of us at OPVMC!
