The hot summer months can be uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. Here are some tips for keeping pets safe in the heat: • Never leave pets in a parked car, even with the car running and air-conditioner on. Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a vehicle with the windows slightly cracked open can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature could reach 120 degrees. Such heat may cause death or irreversible organ damage in pets. • Watch the humidity. Dogs pant to cool down, but high humidity prevents them from doing so, causing their body temperature to soar to dangerous levels quickly. • Limit exercise on hot days. Walk dogs in the early morning or late at night. Pay special attention to pets with white-colored ears (as they are more susceptible to skin cancer) and short-nosed pets, which typically have difficulty breathing. Dogs absorb and release heat through their feet, therefore, walk them on grass or use doggy boots. Bring water to keep pets from dehydrating. • Don’t rely on fans, which don’t cool off animals as effectively as they do people. If you don’t have airconditioning, lay down a wet towel for your dog to lie on or simply set up a fan in front of a pan of ice. • Provide clean water and protection from heat and the sun when dogs are outdoors. Add ice to water. A doghouse does not provide relief from heat. Tree shade and tarps are ideal because they don’t obstruct air flow. • Watch for signs of heatstroke, including heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizure and unconsciousness. If a dog is suffering from heatstroke, move it into the shade or an air-conditioned area. Apply ice packs or cold towels to its head, neck and chest or run cool (not cold) water over the pet. Give it small amounts of cool water or ice cubes to lick. Take the dog to the veterinarian. Rabies clinic to be held in July The City of Cerritos will hold a low-cost rabies clinic for dogs and cats in Shelter 1 at Cerritos Park East from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27. The clinics are sponsored by Long Beach Animal Care Services and Artesia Animal Hospital, in cooperation with the City of Cerritos’ Community Safety and Community Participation Divisions. Rabies shots for dogs and cats will be available for $10, and canine bordetella (kennel cough) shots cost $17 each. Canine coronavirus vaccines are $14, and Lyme disease vaccines will be $23. DHPP shots, also known as the “6-in-1” vaccine that protects dogs from distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvovirus, will be available for $19. The comparable “4-in-1” (FVRCPP) shot for cats cost $18. Feline bordetella (FIP) shots will be $23, and feline coronavirus (FELV) shots are $20. In addition to vaccination fees, a $3 biohazard disposal fee will be charged for each treated animal. Checks for vaccines should be made payable to the City of Cerritos. A driver’s license number and expiration date are required on all checks. Returned checks are subject to a $10 service fee. AVID microchipping will also be available for $25 per cat or dog. In addition to an annual rabies shot, dogs four months and older are required by law to have a license. Dog licenses will be sold to Cerritos, Long Beach, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach and Signal Hill residents at the clinics. Dog license fees for Cerritos residents are $20, or $10 for dogs that are spayed or neutered (a certificate is required to receive the discount). Seniors ages 60 and older may purchase up to three half-price licenses per household for dogs that are spayed or neutered. To obtain a license, dog owners must show a copy of a current rabies certificate, valid for 12 months, and a sterility certificate if the dog is spayed or neutered. Checks for dog licenses should be made payable to Long Beach Animal Care Services. Pet owners must keep their dogs on leashes and cats in pet carriers during the clinics. For more information about animal licenses, call Long Beach Animal Care Services at (562) 570-7387. Caltrans Adopt-A-Highway program Cerritos segments available for sponsorship Eight segments along the 91 and 605 freeways within Cerritos are currently available for sponsorship as part of the Caltrans Adopt-A-Highway program. The program provides a unique opportunity for both volunteer and sponsor groups to promote civic responsibility and community pride. Established in 1989, the Adopt-A-Highway program allows individuals and businesses to donate materials, equipment and services for roadside maintenance or enhancement. Adoption opportunities include litter removal, graffiti removal, vegetation control, tree planting and wildflower planting. Sponsors can also choose to hire a Caltrans-approved contractor, at the sponsor’s expense, to perform litter abatement services. The average cost to maintain a segment of highway using contracted labor is approximately $425 per month. In recognition of each sponsorship, Caltrans provides a standard sponsorship sign that is displayed along the designated highway segment. Sponsors have the option of providing an enhanced sign at their own additional expense. The sign must be approved by Caltrans and can include custom fonts, logos and colors. For more information about adopting a freeway segment in Cerritos, please contact the Southeast Los Angeles area Caltrans Adopt-A-Highway Coordinator Shelley Bickel at (213) 897-3871 or [email protected]. Cerritos named a “Playful City USA” For the ninth consecutive year, the City of Cerritos was honored with a “Playful City USA” distinction for its outstanding recreation programs and facilities for children. The non-profit KaBOOM!, a national organization dedicated to saving play, honored 257 communities with the Playful City USA designation. The honor recognizes U.S. cities and towns that have implemented unique local action plans to increase the quantity and quality of play in their communities. In Cerritos, residents enjoy multi-faceted recreational activities and programs for all ages. Sports and fitness programs, sports leagues, golf, aquatics, adaptive recreation and dance classes are offered at numerous City parks, community centers and specialized recreation facilities. Cerritos has 25 parks and recreation facilities, including neighborhood parks, community centers, the Cerritos Olympic Swim & Fitness Center, the Cerritos Iron Wood-Nine Golf Course and the Cerritos Sports Complex. The gyms at Cerritos and Whitney High schools offer additional facilities for recreation. The national non-profit KaBOOM! advocates for local policies that increase play opportunities for children.
