As temperatures soar, your pets rely on you to keep them safe. Heat stroke in dogs is a life-threatening emergency—and unfortunately, we see it all too often.

🐶𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲. Outside time should be limited to quick bathroom breaks only when the temperature is above 80 degrees.
🏖️ Skip the dog park, long walks, festivals, and farmers' markets when the temperatures skyrocket—especially for flat-faced ("brachycephalic") breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Frenchies, who are much more prone to overheating.
🌅 If your dog needs exercise, walk them early in the morning or after sunset—never during peak heat.
💦 If they love swimming and you have a pool, that’s a great way for them to safely cool off!

🌟 Last week, OPVMC participated in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge—a 5K event designed to serve as a catalyst between work and wellness! 🏃‍♀️🌿

We had a fantastic turnout, tons of fun, and loved getting to spend time with our coworkers outside of the hospital on such a beautiful day. From the run to the post-race dinner and games, it was the perfect way to bond and recharge together.

Already looking forward to next year—see you then, Corporate Challenge! 💪☀️

🌈 On June 1st, OPVMC proudly walked in the Buffalo Pride Parade alongside the Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society! We were honored to represent our chapter of the Pet Emergency Fund while celebrating the diversity in our community.

It was a beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and connection — not just with each other, but with the public and pet lovers across WNY. Events like these remind us that compassion, inclusivity, and care extend to all beings — human and animal alike. 🐾💖

Thank you to everyone who came out, cheered us on, and helped us raise awareness for pets in need!
