Ask a Vet: How to Keep Your Dog Healthy All Summer

In case you missed our Facebook Live conversation last week, here’s a video of our talk with Dr. Bo Bergman–of West Mountain Animal Hospital in Bennington, Vermont–about summertime health issues for dogs. As you might imagine, we start off by talking about heat and how you can recognize symptoms of heat stroke and deal with them at home. Dr. Bo also explains what the red flags are that mean you should call your vet. We then delve into ticks and parasites, immunizations, and safe swimming for dogs.

If you have questions you’d like to see addressed in a future “Ask a Vet” video, please leave them in the comments below.
