Help us welcome Dr. Mónica Rodríguez to our PAH family! 💙 Dr. Rodríguez is Spanish Bilingual. 🐾 When asked what her favorite part about being a veterinarian is Dr. Rodríguez says, "There is something empowering in being able to save a life. Since I was very young, I always knew that I wanted to be a healer, I was deeply attracted to figuring out the enigma of why a person or an animal was sick. There was something within me, a call to become that person that was able to provide guidance through a difficult time and prioritize quality of life above all. It is there where I find the most satisfaction in my career, being able to offer a solution and execute it effectively in an otherwise seemingly hopeless situation."

🌡️ 🐾 Be Aware: Signs of Heat Stroke in Dogs 🐾 🌡️
Hey pet parents! As the temperature rises, it's crucial to keep an eye on our furry friends. Even temps within 80°F can cause heat stroke, especially if your dog has breathing or heat issues.
🚨 Signs to look out for:
- Excessive panting
- Drooling
- Lethargy
- Vomiting
- Uncoordinated movements
During the hot summer months, we recommend just taking your dog out for quick bathroom breaks instead of long walks. Let's keep our pups safe and cool! 🐶 💙

Kerbie was found by a sweet women when she saw him roll onto a curb as she drove by. She stopped and scooped this little six week old boy up and brought him to our team for treatment. Luckly for him, not only did he find a new home and get the healthcare he needed, but also got some new yummy treats!

This time of year is full of life and growth... and we are definitely here for it. 👀

Leaping into action, it's Catboy! We have a feeling this little kitty will live up to it's superhero name. 💙

🌞🐾 Summer Heat Reminder from Pennsauken Animal Hospital! 🐾🌞

Hey pet parents! As the summer temperatures rise, it's important to keep our furry friends safe and cool. Here are some vital tips to ensure your pets stay healthy during the heatwave:

1️⃣ Hydration is Key: Make sure your pets have access to fresh, cool water at all times. Dehydration can set in quickly, especially during hot days.

2️⃣ Never Leave Pets in Cars: Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a car can skyrocket within minutes. This can lead to heatstroke or even be fatal. If you can't bring your pet inside with you or leave the AC on, it's best to leave them safely at home.

3️⃣ Cool, Shaded Areas: If your pets are outside, ensure they have a shaded area to rest in. Consider a cooling mat or a shallow kiddie pool for extra comfort.

4️⃣ Limit Exercise: Avoid strenuous activities during peak heat hours. Opt for early morning or late evening walks when it's cooler.

5️⃣ Know the Signs of Heatstroke: Heavy panting, drooling, vomiting, and lethargy are warning signs. If you suspect heatstroke, seek veterinary assistance immediately.

Let's make this summer safe and enjoyable for everyone, including our beloved pets! 🐶🐱❤️ Stay cool and hydrated, Pennsauken!

Feel free to share these tips with fellow pet lovers! 🌞🐾

Grumpy here for his first visit with us! Welcome to the Pennsauken Animal Hospital family!!

During Sunny's kitten Wellness Visit, she preferred the doctor's lap over a carrier or table.

Our Urgent Care is open today if you need us.

As we honor and remember the brave men and women who have served our country, we also want to take a moment to recognize the four-legged heroes who have stood by their sides. Today, we pay tribute to all who have made incredible sacrifices and contributions in the line of duty.

From our family to yours, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served and continue to serve. May we never forget the courage and dedication of both our human and animal heroes.

Enjoy a safe and peaceful Memorial Day with your loved ones. 🐾❤️

Onyx stole our team's heart when he came to PAH! Such a lovable pup 💙🐾

Memorial Day Weekend Pet Safety Reminders:

🇺🇸 Keep Pets Indoors During Fireworks: Loud noises can be frightening for pets. Create a safe, quiet space indoors where they can feel secure.

🇺🇸 Avoid Human Foods: Many festive foods can be harmful to pets. Keep them on their regular diet and avoid feeding them table scraps.

🇺🇸 Hydration is Key: Ensure your pets have access to plenty of fresh water, especially if spending time outdoors. Prevent dehydration by keeping them cool and shaded.

🇺🇸 ID Tags and Microchips: Ensure your pets are wearing up-to-date ID tags and are microchipped. With increased outdoor activities, there's a higher chance of pets getting lost.

We hope you have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

So many fun holidays are coming up! 🎉 With these celebrations also comes fireworks. Make sure if you have a nervous pet you are well stocked on their medication. Now is the time to ask your veterinarian before you run out of time!

Moose was the biggest flirt during his wellness exam! 💙
