Oliver Mobile Veterinary Service

Happy Fourth of July!

We hope you enjoy a fun and safe holiday with your family, including your four-legged family members.

Remember to keep pets indoors during fireworks, provide a quiet place where they feel secure, and make sure their identification tags are up to date.

From everyone at Oliver Mobile Vet Service, have a safe and Happy Fourth of July!

Summer weather can be hard on animals, especially during hot, humid days.

As temperatures rise, it is important to keep a close eye on dogs, cats, and horses. Heat stress can happen quickly, especially for senior animals, young animals, overweight pets, animals with breathing issues, and horses working or turned out in full sun.

A few summer safety reminders:
• Provide fresh water at all times
• Make sure animals have access to shade
• Avoid walking dogs on hot pavement
• Exercise pets and horses during the cooler parts of the day
• Never leave pets in a parked vehicle
• Watch for heavy panting, weakness, drooling, confusion, or distress

If something seems off, it is always better to ask early instead of waiting.

Oliver Mobile Veterinary Services provides mobile veterinary care for dogs, cats, and horses throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
