Iberia Parish Rabies & Animal Control

We reached a record low this year in cold weather. The snow has stopped BUT that does not mean you can leave your dogs outside for extended periods of time, or outside in general. We are actively on standby and will be going out with police on any animal related calls. Bring your pets inside!

P.s: we understand the difference between working dogs (livestock protection) and dogs unaccustomed to these temperatures. The few minutes your pets are outside playing is entirely different from pets left outside with no shelter or areas to be protected.

Is you see something SAY SOMETHING. Please call your local PD to report any animal related calls

We want to see your pets in the snow! Place your photos below! ⬇️ 👇🏼

If you see any animals without proper shelter call your local PD to report! DO NOT EMAIL THE SHELTER

Cold weather tips for pups regarding salt, ice and snow:

Paw injuries: Jagged ice, sharp hidden objects in the snow, or abrasive salt crystals can be painful and cause injury, such as cuts, to your dog’s sensitive paw pads.

Cracked or chapped paws: The dry winter air and cold temperatures can dry out paw pads, leading to painful cracks and sore paws. Sidewalk salts and de-icers can cause abrasions and even chemical burns!

Toxin ingestion: Many pets lick their paws after a romp in the snow. They could be at risk for serious health effects if they have walked through antifreeze, ice-melting agents, or sidewalk salt.

Frostbite: If your pup is out in cold temperatures for too long, they could be at risk for developing painful frostbite.

Tumbles and falls: Icy conditions can lead to accidental trips that could cause trauma or injury

As always, if you see anything contact animal without proper shelter call your local authorities. While we do respond to cases we do not have any type of legal authority outside of when the police call US to come out.

Great advice from our friends at the Lafayette Shelter.

If you are cold, SO ARE THEY, do your best to provide a warm and DRY place for them.
