Resources for our friends in S. CA fire areas.

CORRECTION: Animal Services number: 818. 452. 7381.
For the past week, people who were separated from their pets during the Palisades wildfire had to wait 4-10 hours for a police es**rt. However, today’s press conference had important information and we are asking you to share these crucial updates!

Please help get as many pets back to their families who have lost so much. The amount of people who have rushed in to help shows us what Los Angeles is all about. 💙

Happy Holidays! Celebrating the festive season with your pets can be a joyful experience. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday for your furry friends:

1. Pet-Safe Decorations:
• Christmas Trees: Secure your tree to prevent it from toppling, especially if you have curious pets. Consider using garlands or pet-friendly alternatives to traditional trees. 
• Ornaments: Avoid using tinsel, ribbons, or small ornaments that pets might ingest. Opt for larger, non-breakable decorations placed higher up.

2. Holiday Treats:
• Avoid Harmful Foods: Keep chocolate, baked goods, and other toxic foods out of your pet’s reach. Ensure that guests are aware not to feed pets table scraps.
• Pet-Friendly Treats: Provide special pet-safe treats to include them in the festivities without risking their health.

3. Gift Giving:
• Pet Presents: Choose safe toys and avoid those with small parts that could be swallowed. Interactive toys can keep pets occupied during holiday gatherings.
• Supervision: Keep wrapped gifts away from pets, as they might be tempted to chew on ribbons or paper, which can be harmful if ingested.

4. Festive Photos:
• Holiday Cards: Including your pet in holiday photos can be delightful. Dress them in comfortable, non-restrictive attire and ensure the photo session is brief to keep them stress-free.

5. Maintain Routine:
• Consistency: Try to keep your pet’s feeding and exercise schedule consistent to reduce stress during the busy holiday season.

“Good, dog!” Like music to all dogs’ ears.

‘Behaviour is only labelled good or bad because it’s what we have perceived it to be.’ …

Behaviour is only labelled good or bad because it’s what we have perceived it to be. To our dogs, behaviour is is explored or repeated simply because it is reinforcing in some way.
When we start to think of behaviour just as meeting a need. We can start to change our response to it and work on our own reactions.
And of course tell Santa all dogs are on the good list.

Brrr, it’s chilly outside. Who has given their pup an extra cozy blanket to snuggle up onto? These cuties would love to do that too, would you (or someone you know) have room in your home for a new friendly slobber-er?
