With warm weather upon us, your pet will likely be happy to venture outdoors to enjoy the summer air instead of curling up inside. However, along with sunshine and fun, summertime may also bring some dangerous predicaments for your pet. The emergency and critical care services at Charleston Veterinary Referral Center (CVRC) are available to help every pet owner in case tragedy strikes. The five most common summer emergencies that occur in the Charleston area are dog bites and fights, car accidents, snake bites, heat stroke, and salt water poisoning.
