How To Identify Heat Stroke in Dogs
Whether a dog is left inside a car or left outside, warm temperatures can pose a danger to any dog. Even if a dog has a shady spot and water, if the temperature gets too warm, or the dog gets overheated, he or she can still suffer from heat stroke and die.
That happened to Courtney Rogers when she took her dogs including French Bulldog, Henry, on a walk. The day had been warm, tipping at 30 degrees (86 F) so she waited until evening. She made sure to check to see the pavement was cool enough for them to walk on and brought a doggy water bottle. But despite the precautions, Henry still got in trouble.

“We took them on our usual walk in the evening when it had cooled down a bit, along with a bottle of water for them both to drink when they needed it. About halfway through our walk, Henry started panting, like he usually does anyway because of his breed, but it got progressively worse,” she wrote. “After having large drinks from his water, the panting only got worse, to the point were his chest was rattling, and he was plonking himself down in any shade he could find, refusing to move.”
She rushed him to the vet but despite every attempt to save his life, a few hours later Henry was dead, overwhelmed by the heat. She shared her story in the hopes of saving other dogs’ lives.
Warm weather put a strain on a dog’s ability to regulate their internal temperature. As result, dogs can get heat exhaustion quickly, especially if walking or running.

What to Expect When Your Dog Has Cancer
Dog owners have a new community-building resource for diagnosing cancer in dogs and guiding dog cancer treatment decisions.
My dog has cancer – what next?
Finding support and trusted medical resources are the first steps when your dog has been diagnosed with cancer. A new database called Canine Cancer: Take C.H.A.R.G.E. (Canine Health and Registry Exchange) is a collection of incidence, prevalence and emotional-support information taken directly from dog owners and vets based on personal experience with canine cancer.
The database, overseen by eight leading veterinarians who specialize in canine oncology and surgery, is open to the public and the first-of-its-kind resource that will help guide canine cancer diagnosis and treatment decisions from incidence rates reported on a large scale
How common is cancer in dogs?
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 1 in 4 dogs will, at some stage in their life, develop a tumor, and almost 50 percent of dogs over age 10 will develop cancer.
A multi-year Gallup survey of U.S. dog owners and a retrospective review of more than 35,000 anonymous canine patient records found that the percent of U.S. dogs newly diagnosed with cancer in 2021 was 2.8 percent — approximately five times the 0.57 percent incidence of newly diagnosed cancer in humans that year.
The survey also revealed that when a dog is diagnosed with cancer, the owner often suffers from depression and anxiety. But, if the owner is able to manage his dog’s cancer treatment side effects well, such as pain, urinary incontinence and diarrhea, his well-being improves.
How will the canine cancer registry help with dog cancer treatment and care?
Using the information collected, dog owners and veterinarians can make more informed decisions about dog cancer diagnosis, treatment and care options.
“The information from Take C.H.A.R.G.E. will provide the first-ever national representation of the incidence and prevalence of canine cancer and will help inform decisions that advance the quality of life of both dogs with cancer and their owners,” says Lisa Conte, founder, president and CEO of the plant-based pharmaceutical company Jaguar Health, Inc., which launched the project.
The data may also help doctors better understand cancer in humans by keeping track of factors such as environmental risk, genetic determinants and evaluation of new treatment approaches.
My dog has cancer; how can I help?
The Take Charge registry will grow as pet owners and veterinary clinics upload medical records of dogs with cancer. It’s free to upload and the information remains anonymous and protected following General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines.

Stray Dog Leads Rescuers To Her Friend So She Can Be Saved Too
When the South African rescue group Sidewalk Specials rescued a senior street dog named “Kettle” from Hout Bay Harbour in Cape Town he was in rough shape, but they managed to find him a home. Then they found out Kettle had a sister, and decided they needed to find her and bring her home to their shelter.
Luckily, they found her but the stray dog wouldn’t go with them, despite their gentle coaxing and offer of food. She wanted to show them something instead. They followed after her and, there, behind a car, was a second dog. She was shivering and covered in ticks and in dire need of help too. The female dog did not want to leave her friend behind
So instead of rescuing one dog, they rescued two, even though they were strapped for resources and did not have a home for either. A short time later? Watch how all the Hout Bay Harbour rescues are doing now!
If you are wondering about Bruno, who you see in the second video, he had been abandoned by his owners and left to fend for himself on the street. But he is sure doing better now! I’m so glad Gracie and Hope got to stay together! All three Harbour Dogs (Kettle, Gracie, Hope) and Bruno have found loving homes. You can’t ask for a better happy ending than that!
Share this heartwarming rescue with your family and friends!

How to remove a tick from a dog is pretty simple and just takes a few steps. First, how soon should I remove a tick from my dog? As soon as possible. The longer a tick stays attached, the greater the risk of your dog getting an infection or possibly contracting a tick-borne disease. Check out the below easy steps to remove a tick yourself or if you’re scared to remove it yourself, take your dog to your veterinarian immediately.
How to remove a tick from a dog
The best way to remove a tick from your dog is with a pair of sharp-edged tweezers or with a tick removal tool. Do not try to remove it with your fingers — you could squish or tear the tick and spread infection into the bite area.
Steps for removing a tick from your dog:
- Spread your dog’s fur
- Using tweezers or the tick-removing tool, grasp the entire tick as close to your dog’s skin as possible
- Gently pull on the tick in a slow, steady motion until the head pops out. This takes a little patience.
- To kill the tick, drop it into a container of rubbing alcohol
- Wash your hands thoroughly
- Using a cotton ball, clean the tick bite site with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide
- Clean your tweezers or tool with rubbing alcohol
- See a video on how to remove a tick from your dog by veterinarians (VetVid) and explained by Dr. Michael Dryden, Professor of Veterinary Parasitology at Kansas State University.

The stray dog that believed in the goodness of people
Ollie was rescued in Greece and was adopted in the Netherlands. Yes, he was a tough one to let go, but there are millions of strays in Greece and...you get the idea. I used to call him by his Greek name, Fotis (Φώτης), and I consider that dog named Fotis to be mine in a way.
