#DisasterPrep California continues to be at risk from unpredictable wildfires. Unfortunately, wildfires are now year-round. One of California's worst wildfires was in November - the Camp Fire of 2018. Don’t let your family be caught off guard. Have a 5-minute plan to avoid being trapped in the event of an evacuation - whether it's a wildfire or other disaster.

Thank you to the California Veterinary Emergency Team (CVET) of UC Davis who taught our Train-the-Trainer, Equine Handling Workshop. This workshop covered basic equine handling techniques, first-aid procedures, and equine behavior and herd dynamics. The goal is for these new trainers to instruct these techniques to fellow animal disaster responders.

🐾🌟 It's National Pet Week and today we're spotlighting: Behavioral Health! 🌟🐾
🐶🐱🐰 Just like us, our pets can experience a range of emotions and behaviors that impact their happiness and quality of life.
Here are some ideas to help you support your pet's behavioral health:
🧠 **Understand Their Needs**: Take the time to learn about your pet's breed, personality, and individual quirks. Understanding their unique needs and preferences will help you provide the best possible care and support.
🎓 **Invest in Positive Reinforcement Training**: Positive reinforcement training methods are a pawsitive way to encourage good behavior and strengthen the bond between you and your pet.
🏃♂️ **Keep Them Active**: Try different activities like walks, playtime, or agility training to keep things fun and engaging.
🧩 **Provide Mental Stimulation**: Keep your pet's brain engaged with enrichment activities like puzzle toys or interactive games These activities not only provide mental stimulation but also help prevent boredom and destructive behaviors.
👩⚕️ **Seek Professional Help When Needed**: Don't hesitate to reach out to a certified animal behaviorist or veterinarian if you're struggling with behavioral issues. They can offer expert guidance and support to help you and your pet overcome any challenges.
Remember, every pet is unique, and what works for one may not work for another.
