Re-posting this so it will remind some of you that your pets need special attention during this heat wave.
Since the heat is here and you want to stay cool, do NOT forget your pets. You don't need to spend a lot of money to keep your pet healthy. For those that keep their pets outside here is a few ideas that isn't just great ideas some of it should be mandatory.
I believe pets shouldn't be outside all the time, but unfortunately some people don't have a choice.
Saw this on the KCAL news... the live report on the news, the rp said that the owner was there for 4 hours as the dog was in the bmw with the windows cracked. The news also said that the owner is not allowed to be around pets until further notice.
I wanted to let people know that pets need to be cared for TOO! Maybe this will make pet owners think. (CBS) CANOGA PARK, Calif. A man was arrested for felony "animal neglect" after his dog was left unattended in a car in Canoga Park and died of apparent heat exhaustion, authorities said Thursday. Bennett Goldberg, 55, was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon, the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services reported. He was held on $20,000 bail, according to the sheriff's department. A witness saw Goldberg's Labrador retriever about 1 p.m. Tuesday in an unlocked car in the 6800 block of Owensmouth Avenue, officials said. Someone called 911, and another person tried to give the dog some water, but the animal went into convulsions and died, officials said. Police arrested Goldberg a short time later. If convicted of felony animal neglect, Goldberg could face up to three years in prison.

Jack is a big Labrador needing a great home with a fenced in yard and possibly a doggy door. Jack is looking for a loving family, he is great with other dogs and children. He does need his ears cleaned because of his floppy ears. We will start you off with the current medicine but you can consult your vet for alternatives. He is micro chipped, which the current owner will call and transfer the contact info when new owners take Jack. Last time at the vet he weighed 90#.. When new owners take Jack, they will need to license him and get his shots, which he will be needing in less then a month. He comes with his own bed, toys and a partial bag of dog food (Nutro Ultra). Currently the owners are on vacation and they are boarding the dog with me (Bakersfield Pet Care, The Pet Nanny). I am offering this dog with an adoption fee so that I know only serious loving people will want this big baby. The owners have given me full authority to pick the great new family. I would keep him but I do not have the room because I have dogs coming and going with my overnight and daycare. I have taken care of Jack in the past for up to a week at a time, I haven't had any problem with him except that he loves to be with people and if you are not careful that he will want to be your lap dog. If you are interested please contact me at 661-310-1962 or email me. Jack is currently being boarded here in Bakersfield. Please lets find Jack a great home.
Story: http://www.bakersfield.com/...
Dog parks are great but when it comes to personality of dogs, big or small, you don't know how they will react. The nicest dog can even have a bad day. I took my JaLo to the dog park on Kroll Way and was confronted with two large golden retrievers and they surged (and growled) at her but the owner says its 'ok'... no its NOT thats my baby they went after! I immediately took her and left but not without speaking my mind to the owner. Dogs can be unpredictable no matter what type of breed, size or what the owner says. I have taken care of hundreds of dogs and have seen a lot. I have NEVER and never will take a clients dog to the dog park. The article above is proof positive that the worst can happen. Grr (in the article) didn't deserve it and I wish the BEST for the owners.
Last Saturday we raised over $500 at our Relay for Life Garage Sale. For those that found us, we want to give you a HUGE thank you.
We did not advertise this function except for the internet and signs on the road. We did as much advertising that we could without a cost. For those that donated your stuff and time, we want to thank you even more. We had some sweet stuff, and of course that stuff left first thing in the morning. Again, thank you to ALL of your support! See you at the Relay for Life, remember you can win a RedLine BMX NEW Bike and an autographed Kevin Harvick muscle car. Lynn Sharp Bakersfield Pet Care
