Pet Corner
Summer is here and this one is especially hot! ☀️
Ever wondered what you can give your pets to keep them cool while they are playing outside or just hanging out around the house in the heat?
Well, you are in luck because below we have a list of vet approved ideas for you! 🙋
Many frozen treats for humans seem tempting to share with our beloved pets, but can contain toxic things such as xylitol, chocolate or macadamia nuts.
Ice cream and frozen yogurt treats contain dairy that animals' bodies cannot process due to the lack of an enzyme that would typically break it down.
So instead of sharing your summer treat, try:
🐾Freezing fruits or veggies in ice cube trays for your furry friend- things such as raspberries, strawberries, bananas, carrots, blackberries, watermelon, carrots, snap peas, etc are very easy to freeze in water or coconut water. NEVER FEED RAISINS OR GRAPES.
🐾A longer list of safe fruits/veggies for pets can be found at www.aspca.org:
www.aspca.org/news/sharing-caring-foods-you-can-safely-share-your-pet
🐾Try pureeing chicken, plain yogurt (or chicken broth) and carrots in a blender and then freezing to create a delicious ice cream treat for your pet
🐾 Filling an ice cube tray with peanut butter and pieces of banana on top and then freezing can also be a tasty option. PLEASE be sure to read your peanut butter jar to ensure there is no xylitol in the ingredients!
🐾Combine watermelon puree, and coconut milk into a popsicle mold and freeze, that way your pet can enjoy off of the stick just like you! (Plus it'll keep your hands cleaner)
🐾 You can even try freezing some of the ingredients above inside a kong or your pets favorite toy, which will give them entertainment for quite a while!
Share some pics of your pup enjoying a beat-the-heat treat!

With the 4th of July coming up this Thursday, we wanted to share a few tips & tricks for keeping your furry friends safe!
🎆 Make sure all pets have an identification tag, with an updated phone number/address. This holiday is one of the most common for animals to make an escape.
🎇 If your pet has a microchip, make sure that you have your information up to date. If they are not microchipped reach out to your vet clinic and ask about having this done, it is a quick process and will make it easier to get your pet home if you are separated at any point.
🎆 Consider keeping pets in an escape proof room or crate; if you are hosting guests, place signage on the door so that they know to keep your animals safe and contained.
🎆 Do not let curious pets near a grill or stove if it is on or cooling down.
🎇 Keep all fireworks, sparklers, charcoal and hot items alike away from your pets.
🎆 Resist the urge to feed your pet table scraps, with the intention of avoiding any toxicities or belly aches.
⭐️ LOTS of animals become stressed with the fireworks or any loud noises that can occur over this weekend.
If this is the case with your pets, you can try calming diffusers (feliway/adaptil), keep them in a separate room or crate, try putting on calm music in the room, use thunder shirts, or even give them a frozen kong with peanut butter or other treats to try and keep them distracted.
If your pet is currently on a medication that helps to keep them calm, do not skip any doses on this day

![With the 4th of July coming up this Thursday, we wanted to share a few tips & tricks for keeping your furry friends safe!
🎆 Make sure all pets have an identification tag, with an updated phone number/address. This holiday is one of the most common for animals to make an escape.
🎇 If your pet has a microchip, make sure that you have your information up to date. If they are not microchipped reach out to your vet clinic and ask about having this done, it is a quick process and will make it easier to get your pet home if you are separated at any point.

Your Local Aurora Veterinarians!
Welcome to Parkside Animal Health Center! We are an American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accredited animal hospital located in the 80015 zip code of Aurora, CO. Our veterinarians provide basic wellness services, including dog vaccines, cat vaccines, routine lab work and examinations for healthy pets- because pets need regular check-ups too! But our animal hospital really shines when it comes to caring for your sick dog, cat or other small animals. Our experienced team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians will start with the most essential diagnostics, and with Parkside Animal Health Center, you get the results on the spot. We can test blood, urine and fecal samples all within our hospital for immediate results. X-rays are performed by hospital staff and reviewed by a veterinarian at the time of your appointment. For any testing that we can’t handle within our practice, we are still able to send out samples and get results within 24-48 hours.![Parkside Animal Health Center lobby which allows for separation between feline and canine patients.](https://animalhospitalaurora.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/internal-vet-clinic-lobby.jpg)
Our Animal Hospital’s Core Values
We want to get your pet feeling better and keep them feeling their best for as long as possible. We treat your pets like members of the family- because they are! But it’s more than that. Our animal hospital sticks to a set of well-established core values in order to provide the best care for every pet and person we see.- First, we focus on education and science as a fundamental component of practicing veterinary medicine and running an effective animal hospital. We are scientists and we are animal lovers. We reinvest in ourselves so that our hospital staff and veterinarians are on the cutting edge of research in terms of technology, new breakthroughs, and skills. We also reinvest in our animal hospital which is clean, modern and efficient. Additionally, we reinvest in the best equipment (like our new therapeutic laser!) so that we can offer our pets and patrons the best possible service.
- Second, we are committed to friendship, compassion, empathy, and warmth. We love animals but we also love the people that look after them. We know what it’s like to have a sick pet and we know how hard it can be. But we also know how great it feels to see them get better. Everything we do in our hospital is influenced by our core values of empathy and compassion.
- Third, we value communication, respect, integrity, and honesty. We want to be an informative and honest partner in your pursuit of animal health. We know there is a lot of information and opinion out there and it can get confusing. We pride ourselves on being the veterinarians you can go to for an honest and upfront answer to every question.
