Published Quarterlyrate. Affected dogs become hyperactive and may
have difficulty maintaining balance.
As exposure to excessive heat goes on, the dog’s
condition worsens and includes signs of shock:pale mucous membranes with white or blue
gums, very rapid heart rate, and a drop in bloodpressure.
Thedog
hyperventilates,and dehydration becomes more severe. Pupils
dilate, the pulse becomes more irregular, and the
dog has muscle tremors; he may become
lethargic and unwilling to move; urinate or
defecate uncontrollably; collapse and become
comatose.
Dogs at the beach will try to cool themselves withthe saltwater of the Puget Sound and again, that
could also be dangerous as salt water is not agood source of water. Contact your vet
immediately if you see any signs.

Dogs and Fireworks
There are very few pets that like fireworks. The
City of Edmonds just passed new fees forviolators of the fireworks ban. So please, do notuse fireworks and please call the City so that they
can register the complaint so that there is a record
for the Administration and City Council to review.

result in very serious complications. There are

things get too serious.

and rapid breathing, excessive drooling, dry
mucous membranes, bright red gums andtongue, skin hot to the touch, and a higher heart

It was a perfect day and we met many vendors
who might come to the Halloween Howl One

Become a Member

Since 1986 Doney Coe Pet Clinic has been
supporting the animal-human bond by providing
comprehensive no-cost veterinary care to families
experiencing low income or homelessness. In thebeginning, our Founder, Dr. Bud Doney, carried
his supplies out into the community to meet petowners one-on-one. His colleague, Dr. Stan Coe,carried on his vision and set up multi-service
mobile clinics operating out of the Union Gospel
Mission in Pioneer Square. Doney Coe now
operates several clinics each month in borrowed
veterinary clinic space, helping hundreds ofanimals. When complex or critical care is needed,
patients are referred to their network of trusted
partners for diagnostic and surgical procedures atno cost.

There are a lot of good reasons to become amember. Member dues go towards promoting
and improving our dog park. Members will
receive a subscription to our quarterly newsletter
which provides information on upcoming events,news and educational features. All donated funds
are TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

On June 1, 2022, Doney Coe Pet Clinic opened afull-service veterinary clinic at its permanent
location on 3rd Avenue in downtown Seattle; but
unfortunately, the lease expired at the end of April
2023 and not renewed. During 2022, Doney Coe
was able to expand its services to do mostsurgeries with sophisticated diagnostic testing,including imaging and blood analysis. As such,they were able to see more pets per month since
there is a great need for these services. Doney
Coe is working to secure another permanentspace. In the meantime, doctors and staff aredoing what our organization has always done –adapt to the circumstances and help as many
pets as we can. As we all know, pets mean
everything to their clients and doctors and staff do
whatever they can to help keep pets healthy andhappy. Visit www.doneycoe.org
