High Point Veterinary Hospital

Summer travel season is here. Is your pet's microchip info up to date?

A microchip only works if your contact information is current. If you've moved, changed your phone number, or adopted a pet with an existing chip, now is the time to update.

Not sure if your pet is chipped? We can check for you!

Good morning ☀️
We are having some exciting changes coming!!
Due to that our office will be closed today 6/22 from 7:30am-1:00pm so we can get our staff well adjusted.
We apologize for the inconvenience and hope everyone has a happy Monday💛

Happy Father's Day to all the pet dads out there!

To the ones who say they "didn't want a dog" but now share the couch. To the cat dads who've mastered the slow blink. To every pet parent showing up with love every single day.

Today is for you.

Heading to the lake, beach, or pool this summer?

Not all dogs are natural swimmers. Keep them safe:

- Use a pet life jacket, especially on boats.
- Never leave pets unattended near water.
- Rinse off chlorine or saltwater after swimming.
- Watch for blue-green algae in ponds and lakes.

Play safe and swim safe!

Summer means more time outside and more exposure to fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.

Year-round prevention is the easiest way to keep your pet protected. Skipping months or waiting until you see a problem leaves your pet vulnerable.

If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

Asphalt can reach 150°F when the air is only 85°F. That's hot enough to cause burns in seconds.

Quick Test: Place the back of your hand on the pavement for 5 seconds. If you can't keep it there, neither can your dog.

Walk early, walk late, or walk on grass!

Summer is officially here and so is the heat.

Pets can overheat quickly, especially flat-faced breeds, senior pets, and those with thick coats. Watch for:

- Heavy panting
- Excessive drooling
- Lethargy and/or weakness
- Vomiting

If you notice these signs, move your pet to a cool area and call us right away.

Senior pets hold a special place in our hearts.

As pets age, their health needs change. More frequent exams and bloodwork help us catch issues early and keep them comfortable.

If your senior pet is due for a check-in, we would love to see them.

Call (336) 889-3832 to schedule.

Traveling with your pet this Memorial Day weekend?

A few things to prepare:

• Make sure flea/tick/heartworm prevention is current
• Research if a health certificate is needed for travel.
• Pack food, water, meds, and vet records

Have a safe and fun holiday!
