Bees and Wasps in September


We tend to see a lot more bees and wasps buzzing around picnics during September than any other month of the year. Because they become bigger pests, it’s important to make sure that your pet is safe! If you suspect your pet has been stung by a bee or a wasp, monitor them for symptoms for the next 24 hours. You should see swelling near the sting site, and should notice that your pet is uncomfortable. Apply an icepack wrapped in a towel, if possible, to reduce swelling. If symptoms persist, please seek veterinary care with us immediately!
