JUNE

  • Adopt a Dog Month

  • Another hurricane season is coming.  Read through our Disaster Planning for you and your pets and make plans if ever you need to evacuate.  Go over these plans once a year with your family.  Better to be safe and knowledgeable than in a crisis, panicked and have no plan.

  • Remember that if you need to evacuate, ALWAYS take all pets with you.

  • Having your dog go with you in your car is fun but it can be deadly.  Even if you leave the windows down a little the inside of your car can heat up FAST.  Good rule of thumb is that if the temperature outside is 60 degrees or more, leave your pet home.  It could save their life.

  • Call us Now for your July Vacation pet care reservation.

  • If you adopt a dog this month - call us ASAP to set up Mid Day Let out so they have a break while you are at work

JULY

  • Fireworks can be scary for most animals.  Be sure to keep them somewhere safe when you and your neighbors celebrate Independence Day.

  • Leaving your pet in the car - Many pet owners love to bring their pets with them on a car ride, whether they are going to the store or traveling.  However, when the weather is wonderful and the temperature starts to go up, it can be VERY DANGEROUS for your pets.  If the temperature is around 70 degrees, even leaving your car windows open about 2 inches, will increase your car's temperature to over 100 degrees in a VERY short time.  Since our pets cool their body temperature mainly by panting, when the air temperature they are breathing in is very high, they are unable to cool.  Their internal body temperature increases and if they can not cool down, your pets will slowly die.  My rule is if, the outside temperature is over 60 degrees, do not leave your pets in a car.  To learn more go to Humane Society wants law barring pets left in hot car, Pets in Hot Cars, Life or Death reports, Download Flyers, Study of 2 cars & temps inside (Note that there was not much difference with windows open) , Dogs in Hot Cars .
