4th of July Pet Safety

Pets Depend on Us for July 4 Safety

The California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) reminds everyone that though they are legal in some communities, fireworks cause many animals to be caught somewhere between nervous and terrified.

The CVMA urges pet owners to pay extra attention to their animals' safety and protection during July 4 celebrations. Many scared pets try to escape the frightening noises and end up breaking through their normal security and running away.

Pet owners must make sure each animal has easily recognizable I.D. Watch your pets closely during the long holiday weekend. Even one that hasn't reacted in previous years could become unexpectedly fearful. Look for common signs like shaking and trembling; barking and howling; excessive drooling; attempting to hide; refusing food; and trying to escape the house, fence, or enclosure.

To ensure your pet stays safe and with you this Fourth of July, the CVMA recommends the following:

1. Keep small pets sheltered indoors. Turn on the radio or TV for distraction.

2. Never leave pets alone outdoors, even if tethered or in a fenced yard. Dogs especially may escape and become lost or injure themselves by chewing or choking on their leashes.

3. Do not take your pet to a fireworks show or leave it in your car unattended. If you must be outside with your pet, be sure to keep it on a leash or in acarrier.

4. Protect animals from children who may not realize that waving sparklers orsetting off safe firecrackers could upset a family pet.

5. Keep your pet's I.D. tags current, so you can be reunited easily in the event it runs away.

6. Talk to your veterinarian about a mild sedative or tranquilizer to calm the fears of an extremely stressed dog or cat.

Old L A Farmers Market in Highland Park Every Tuesday.

In season at the Highland Park Farmers Market: The first few weeks in June probably provide the greatest variety of fruits for the season, so please try to make it out to the market and enjoy all the delicious choices. Wonderful late season strawberries have been coming in from the Oxnard area where the recent heat has really sweetened up theberries.

This week we saw our first Rainier cherries of the season. Rainier cherries are the light red and yellow cherries while the California Bing cherry has a deep red color.

To top it all off, stone fruits continue to flood into the market this week. In addition to the apricots, peaches and nectarines that we've had at the market for the last few weeks, the first plums of the season have now been spotted coming in from our Central Valley and High Desert growers.

The Highland Park Certified Farmers Market is located adjacent to the Highland Park Gold Line station at Marmion Way between Ave. 57 & 58 and operates Tuesdays from 3-8 pm.
