Visiting the veterinarian is an essential part of any cat’s life. Beginning from a young age, it’s critical that your feline friend goes for a check-up every year. Though these appointments don’t occur frequently, it’s possible that your cat may still experience anxiety during their visit. https://pbxx.it/UOdOkx

We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Animal Control Officer Ruben Hernandez. He was amazing and did so much for the animals of Citrus Heights. He will be missed and never forgotten. 💔

It is our unfortunate duty to share heartbreaking news. Yesterday, we were notified of CHPD's Senior Animal Services Officer Ruben Hernandez's unexpected passing on Sunday, September 1, 2024.

As a Supervising Animal Control Officer with Sacramento County, Ruben was exceptionally skilled in investigating animal cruelty cases, and the handling and calming of aggressive dogs. Ruben brought that knowledge and experience to our community when he joined the City of Citrus Heights team as an Animal Services Officer in April 2012. Ruben’s dedication and commitment to the Department, the City, and the Community were evident in his training of new staff, his mentoring of team members, and his availability to help all of us whenever needed.

Ruben loved his family, fishing, San Francisco 49ers and was an active volunteer in his church. His goal was to make a difference in the work he did, be the best person and officer he could be, and serve the community professionally and compassionately.

We all feel this loss deeply, and our thoughts are with his friends and family during this difficult time.

Vet visits: Schedule regular check-ups to monitor your pet's health and catch any potential issues early.


Senior care: Consider a senior pet wellness plan to address age-related health needs.
2. Adapt Your Home:

Ramp access: Use ramps for stairs or steps to make it easier for your pet to move around.

Automatic feeders and waterers: Use automatic feeders and waterers to reduce manual labor.
Pet doors: Install a pet door to allow your pet to go in and out as needed.
Grooming assistance: Consider hiring a professional groomer or asking for help from family or friends.
4. Exercise Safely:

Short, frequent walks: Opt for shorter, more frequent walks to avoid overexertion.
Gentle activities: Choose low-impact activities like swimming or playing fetch indoors.
Rest breaks: Allow your pet to rest frequently to prevent fatigue.
5. Consider Pet Insurance:

Financial protection: Pet insurance can help cover unexpected veterinary expenses.
Peace of mind: Knowing you have coverage can reduce stress and anxiety.
6. Prepare for Emergencies:

Emergency kit: Assemble an emergency kit with essential supplies for your pet.
Pet sitter or boarding: Arrange for a pet sitter or boarding facility in case you're unable to care for your pet.
7. Connect with Other Pet Owners:

Support groups: Join local pet owner groups or online forums for support and advice.
