When it comes to extreme heat, it’s not only people who are at risk, it’s the furry friends in our lives as well.
Just like humans, animals are at risk for a number of heat related illnesses, including heat strokes, which can be fatal.
One thing to keep in mind on hot days is when you take your dog out for a walk, if the pavement is too hot, it can actually burn the pad of your dog’s paws.
Dr. Alice Xenachis and Dr. Jason Gulas of Fur Baby’s Veterinary Hospital in Biloxi tell News 25 the impact from taking your dog out in the heat can be very dangerous. “I’ve seen a lot of heat strokes happen on the weekend. In the middle of the day when people decide to go on a walk on the bridge or something and the heat in the middle of the day, even for 10 or 15 minutes, if the dog is running for just a few minutes, it can be devastating and they can go into heatstroke where their body just cannot tolerate those high temperatures.”

Fur Baby Pet Resort in Milford celebrated its 10th anniversary May 1 by cutting the ribbon on its new facility on Front Street.
Owners Sherry and Bryan Shupe have moved their business just down the street to a larger building across from the Milford Police Department station. Fur Baby had been located next to Arena’s, adjacent to the Riverwalk.

According to a release, Fur Baby will mark the milestone on May 1.
Sherry and Bryan Shupe own the business. Sherry launched the business with Bryan, later marrying Sherry and becoming a partner in the business.
Fur Baby, which started out selling pet supplies, moved four times over a decade and continued to expand its services to include grooming, daycare, and boarding.
More recently, the Shupes bought their own 10,000-square-foot building in Milford. The build-out was delayed by the pandemic and restrictions on the size of crews doing the work.
The new space that includes an outdoor exercise area for dogs opened in January.
