August/September Pet of the Month | Lola

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Sweet Lola

This month’s Pet of the Month is Lola. She is a 7 year old Chihuahua mix that has been coming to Dogwood since June 2007. Her visits to Dogwood have been great! She is overall a healthy small breed dog coming to us for vaccines, blood tests and almost yearly dental cleanings. You see, like many small breed dogs, Lola suffers from chronic dental disease. Chronic Dental Disease is when there is a build up of tartar and gingivitis (gum disease) leading to 12 tooth extractions! Now with many of the teeth gone that were causing her to be uncomfortable, Lola is doing great and enjoying her summer with her family!

Severe Heat Warning

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

With temperatures in the upper 90′s into next week, don’t forget your pets! Make sure they stay cool. Provide shade and plenty of water. These are dangerous conditions for pets in cars – even with windows partly open, the heat in a parked car can be deadly to pets faster than you think.

If it gets too hot for your pets today, we have air-conditioned indoor boarding available for the next few hotter days! Your pets can’t “dress down” for the heat like people can.

The National Weather Service Excessive Heat Watch:

Severe Weather...EXCESSIVE HEAT OUTLOOK FOR THE INLAND VALLEYS...COAST RANGE
AND CASCADE FOOTHILLS OF NORTHWEST OREGON AND SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON THIS
WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK... HOT TEMPERATURES WILL DEVELOP OVER
INTERIOR SECTIONS OF NORTHWEST OREGON AND SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON THIS
WEEKEND. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY ARE EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE LOWER
90S. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S OVER THE WEEKEND AND
LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK. SOME LOCATIONS MIGHT
TOP OUT NEAR 100 DEGREES SUNDAY OR MONDAY. 

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY WARM CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK BEFORE
SIGNIFICANT COOLING OCCURS. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE A SITUATION IN
WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. 

DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUNSHINE...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
