🐾 September is Pet Pain Awareness Month 🐾

Our pets can't tell us when they're hurting, but they do communicate with us in other ways. This month, take a few moments to learn the signs and symptoms of pain in pets so you can recognize when they may be in distress.

Changes in behavior, decreased activity, limping, hiding, loss of appetite, or even subtle shifts in mood can all be your pet's way of saying something isn't right. As their caregivers, it's our job to listen with our eyes and hearts.

Please take a moment to review the information in this article and become familiar with the signs of pain. Early recognition can make a world of difference in your pet's comfort, health, and quality of life.

❤️ They can't speak to tell us, but we can observe to listen.

🌡️ Dangerous heat is in the forecast this week, and pets are counting on us to keep them safe.

When temperatures soar, even a short walk or a few extra minutes outside can put your pet at risk for heatstroke or burned paw pads.

Follow the walk guide below and remember:
• Walk during the early morning or late evening whenever possible.
• Always bring fresh water and take plenty of breaks.
• Test the pavement with the back of your hand. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for their paws.
• Never leave a pet in a parked car, even for a minute.
• Watch for signs of overheating, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse.

If it's too hot outside, swap the walk for indoor enrichment, a puzzle toy, or a game of fetch down the hallway. Your pet will thank you!
