🚨 Understanding the Dangers of Heatstroke in Pets

Heatstroke poses severe risks to our furry friends. If left untreated, it can lead to:

1️⃣ Organ Failure: Elevated body temperature can harm vital organs.
2️⃣ Brain Damage: Heat stress can impact cognitive functions.
3️⃣ Seizures: Excessive heat may trigger seizures in pets.
4️⃣ Coma or Death: In extreme cases, untreated heatstroke can be fatal.

Prevention is key! Keep them cool, hydrated, and never underestimate the impact of rising temperatures on your pets well-being. 🌡️🐶🐱

🎉 10 Years of Care, Growth & Gratitude 🎉

This week we celebrated 10 incredible years since we opened the doors to our little clinic — built from the ground up by the unwavering passion and dedication of the Delosa family. From humble beginnings to the thriving practice we are today, it’s been a journey of long hours, big dreams, and a whole lot of heart.

Over the years, we’ve seen so much growth and change — new faces, expanded services, updated facilities — but our core purpose has always stayed the same: providing compassionate, high-quality care to every animal that walks through our doors.

To all the employees past and present — thank you. Each of you has helped shape this clinic into what it is today. Whether you were with us for a season or for the long haul, your contributions have not gone unnoticed. And to the amazing team that still stands with us — you are the heart of this place, and we’re so grateful.

And to our incredible clients and community — thank you for your ongoing trust, loyalty, and support. You’ve stood by us through the ups and downs, and we truly wouldn’t be here without you.

Here’s to a decade of dedication, and to many more years of caring for your beloved pets. 🐾💙
