Vets at PHS will be giving vaccines for rabies ($6), DHLPP ($15), bordetella ($15) and FVRCP ($15).  Residents of Arcadia, LaCañada Flintridge and San Marino will be able to purchase a dog license as well.  You can get your furry friend microchipped for just $20.  Be sure to have your dog leashed and your cat in a carrier.  Cash and checks will be the accepted methods of payment.  PHS suggests showing up early to avoid lines.  And we suggest you take a look at the adoptable dogs, cats & bunnies waiting for homes at the Pasadena Humane Society if you’re looking to add a new member to your family.

 Halloween can be fun for you and your pets if you keep these safety tips in mind:

• Keep any candles or jack-o-lanterns away from areas your pet frequents since they can be easily knocked over by a wagging tail.
• It’s a good idea to keep your furry friends away from the door during Halloween night.  They could easily escape with the door being opened so often or be scared by the ghouls and ghosts! Be sure your pet is micro-chipped, licensed and wearing up to date tags with your contact info in case they get loose.
• Chocolate (and other sweet treats) can be poisonous to your pet  so be sure to keep your candy stash well out of reach. Also beware of stray candy wrappers that could cause a choking hazard. This is a great time to teach your kids it’s not ok to share junk food with their furry friends and have some healthy pet treats on hand as an alternative.
• If your pet likes dressing up then be sure their costume fits comfortably and doesn’t contain any small pieces they could chew off and choke on or swallow. And if your pet isn’t a fan of dress up, than consider a decorative collar instead.

These Pet Safety Tips are brought to you by LA Animal Services.

Join Our Team for the Race For The Rescues

We’re very excited for the 6th annual Race for the Rescues at the Rose Bowl on October 23rd!  We’re putting together a team, the Alternative Outfitters Avengers, to raise money and run.  Check out our team page here to join us and if you aren’t able to run (or walk!) then please consider donating to help us reach our goal of $400.

The race will benefit 10 non profits including After The Finish Line, A Dog’s Life Rescue, Angel Dog Foundation, Best Friends Animal Society, Molly’s Mutts & Meows, The Ozzy Foundation, Pets For Vets, Stray Cat Alliance, Take Me Home Rescue & The Rescue Train.  There will be a pet costume contest, fun prizes and celebrity judges as well as face painting for kids and a pet psychic! The first 300 dogs can get a free micro chip courtesy of the Angel Dogs Foundation. You’ll be able to check out products from vendors post race and get in on the silent auction.  The race itself  is either a 5k (once around the Rose Bowl) or a 10k (twice around) and you can walk or run.

We hope you’ll join our team for a fun filled day to benefit the once forgotten animals of L.A. so that they can find their forever homes once and for all.  Please share this post with you friends and family and ask them to run with us or donate. Hope to see you there!
