🌞 Tuesday Tip: Hidden Hot Weather Hazards for Your Dog! 🐶☀️

When temperatures rise, most pet owners think about heatstroke—but there are other hidden summer dangers that can put your dog at risk!🐾 Watch out for foxtails and other barbed grass seeds. These sharp seeds can become lodged in your dog's ears, nose, eyes, paws, or skin, leading to painful infections and even life-threatening complications.💚 Avoid water with blue-green algae. Lakes and ponds that look like pea soup or spilled green paint may contain toxic algae that can cause severe illness or death within hours if ingested.🪰 Keep wounds clean and your pet well-groomed. Warm weather attracts flies, and pets with open wounds or soiled fur can develop painful maggot infestations surprisingly quickly.A little extra awareness can help keep your furry family members safe all summer long!📖 For more information, visit: www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/protect-your-dog-from-these-hidden-hot-weather-hazards/#TuesdayTip #SummerPetSafety #DogSafety #HopeAnimalClinic #HealthyPetsHappyLives ...

🐾🎉 Fun Fact Friday! 🎉🐾

Meet the Selkirk Rex, affectionately known as the "cat in sheep’s clothing!" 🐑🐱 With their plush, curly coats and sweet personalities, these adorable felines are one of the most unique cat breeds in the world.✨ Fun facts about these curly cuties:🐾 Every Selkirk Rex alive today can trace its ancestry back to one curly kitten named Miss DePesto, named after the curly-haired character from the 1980s TV show Moonlighting.🐾 They are the only cat breed named after a person! Breeder Jeri Newman used her stepfather’s family name, Selkirk, when naming the breed.🐾 Because their curly coat gene is dominant, kittens from the same litter can have either curly or straight fur—and curly kittens even have curly whiskers!🐾 Unlike the slender Cornish or Devon Rex breeds, Selkirk Rex cats are sturdy, medium-to-large cats with a surprising amount of heft and a teddy bear appearance.🐾 Their fluffy coats can make them resemble little sheep, but don’t be fooled—they’re not hypoallergenic and need regular brushing to keep those curls beautiful.🐾 Fans often call them "dogs in disguise" because they love people, enjoy snuggling on laps, and can even learn to walk on a leash! 🦮🐈❤️ With their adorable curls and affectionate personalities, it’s easy to see why the Selkirk Rex has captured the hearts of cat lovers everywhere!#FunFactFriday #SelkirkRex #CatFacts #HopeAnimalClinic ...
