🐾 A Heartfelt Thank You to Corman Park Veterinary Services 💜

A huge thank you to the incredible team at Corman Park Veterinary Services for always taking such amazing care of Stevie. She recently developed an ear infection, and thanks to their compassionate care and expertise, she’s already feeling so much better. We are so grateful for their continuous support and dedication to keeping our pets happy and healthy.

Ear infections are one of the most common issues seen in dogs, and recognizing the signs early can make all the difference. Watch for symptoms like:
👂 Frequent head shaking
🐾 Scratching at the ears
❤️ Redness or swelling
👃 A bad odor from the ears
💧 Discharge

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with your veterinarian.

Want to learn even more about recognizing ear infections and other common pet emergencies? Join us for our Canine CPR & First Aid Course at Corman Park Veterinary Services on October 17th! You’ll gain valuable skills and confidence to help your dog when they need you most.

Thank you again to the amazing team at Corman Park Vet for being such wonderful partners in keeping our pets healthy. We can’t wait to see everyone on October 17th! 🐶💜

☀️ Heat Wave Alert! Keep Your Pets Safe 🐾

With the temperatures climbing over the next few days, it’s important to help keep our furry friends safe from the heat.

🐕 Try walking your dog early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s much cooler. Midday temperatures can quickly become dangerous, and hot pavement can burn sensitive paw pads.

Here are a few more tips:
💧 Bring fresh water on every walk.
🌳 Stick to shaded areas whenever possible.
🐾 Test the pavement with the back of your hand—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
🏡 On especially hot days, consider indoor enrichment activities instead of a walk.

Heatstroke can happen quickly, so if your pet is panting excessively, drooling, seems weak, or collapses, seek veterinary care immediately.

Stay safe, stay cool, and give your pups an extra belly rub from us at A Touch of Pawsitivity! ❤️🐶 #❤🐶

Whether it’s promoting relaxation and mobility or teaching pet owners and professionals lifesaving emergency skills, our goal is to help dogs thrive.

Thank you, Theo, for being such an adorable ambassador! 🐾

📸 We’d love to see your pups sporting their A Touch of Pawsitivity gear—share your photos and tag us!

As we are coming into a heat wave in many parts of the country - know what to watch for in your dog and how to manage heat stroke. Best practice, however, is to keep your dog in the shade and well hydrated at all times. Walk early in the morning or in the evening when the temperature is cooler and avoid hot pavement as well.

AND!! NEVER leave your dog in a vehicle - temperatures can soar in seconds - even with open windows. Leave them at home - they might give you sad puppy eyes, but we promise that's preferred over heat stroke, which can take their life.

While you’re enjoying the celebrations today, remember to keep your furry family members safe:
❤️ Keep pets indoors if they’re anxious around fireworks.

🎆 If you’re attending fireworks, it’s often safest to leave your pets comfortably at home.

✅ Supervise your pet while they enjoy chews, bones, and new toys.
✅ Keep small household items like socks, hair ties, children’s toys, and batteries out of reach.
✅ Slow down fast eaters with puzzle feeders or slow-feed bowls.
