Health & Safety Facts

  • Heatstroke is fast & dangerous. Warning signs include frantic panting, heavy drool, bright-red gums, and labored breathing—seek urgent care. [AKC, AVMA]
  • Dehydration magnifies heat injury. Early heat illness is tied to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance; fast access to water helps. [PetMD]
  • Dog-park pathogen risk exists. Leptospirosis risk rises with contact at parks/boarding; vaccines are available (initial 2-dose series + annual boosters). [CDC, ACVIM]
  • Standing water ⇒ Giardia risk. Avoid ponds/creeks; drain bowls to limit exposure. [CDC, CAPC]
  • Drainable bowls = safer hydration. Cement bowls that drain discourage bacteria and parasites while keeping water fresh for every pup. [Sleeping Dog Project]
