Police Crack Down on People Leaving Pets In Cars
How long is too long for your pet to be locked in a car?
Every year, people leave their animals in cars during the hot summer months. Some suffer heat stroke and serious injury, or in the worst instances, they can die. It's a problem Tybee Island officials know all too well. That's why Tybee Police are cracking down on anyone who puts an animal at risk.
Police say it only takes a matter of minutes for a dog to be a victim of heat exhaustion.
"Fifteen minutes could result in the death of an animal," explained Tybee Island Police Corporal Jason Heckman.
Tybee Island City Council Member Kathryn Williams is also hoping people pay more attention to how dangerous the summer heat can be for pets.
"Cars just trap heat," said Williams. "They have so much solar heat from the windows that it is literally a death trap."
Even with the windows cracked and a bowl of water, it's still too hot for pets.
"If you were locked in a car with a little water in this heat you wouldn't feel pretty well, said Corporal Heckman, "and they have a fur coat on. That makes it worse."
So far this year, one dog has already died on Tybee Island and several others were injured. Police say while this isn't an increase over previous years, they want to make people aware.
"In one hundred degree heat, a bucket of water isn't going to last very long," said Corporal Heckman.
Many people wonder why someone would leave their dog in a hot car.
"The excuse we're hearing on Tybee is that they were bringing their dog to the beach and didn't realize it was against our ordinances," said Williams. "So rather than taking the dog back home, they leave the dog in the car while the owners go to the beach."
Not everyone is buying that excuse. Johnathan Claughton of Savannah said he would never leave his dog Bentley in a car alone. The only time Bentley rides, is when Claughton is with him.
"He stays at home in the air conditioning," said Claughton.
While not all dogs can enjoy the luxury of air conditioning, police say they should have proper shade outside, plenty of water and they don't have to be locked in hot cars.
The police ask if you see an animal locked in a car and in distress to call 911 immediately.

Custom Pet Mansions

Pets deserve as much luxury as their owners, but when your house is finally decorated perfectly, it might not turn out to be dog or cat friendly. The solution is to get Fido his own house - a custom-built pet mansion. The colonial version ($6,160) is pictured, but the houses can be made to any scale or design. You can ever get a miniature replica of your own home! Once the house is build, it can be furnished and decorated in any manner you choose. If you fence in the house and add a pool, you can turn a (relatively) simple dog house into a doggie estate
Can be found at my wish list

Tick season bad for people, pets
By Tony Biasotti, tbiasotti@VenturaCountyStar.com
May 11, 2006
Melissa Wheatley still grimaces a little when she tells the story.
About 10 years ago, a dog owner from Oak View brought his Australian shepherd to Wheatley, a pet groomer at All Pet Headquarters in Camarillo. She found about 75 ticks feasting on the dog's blood.
That was easily the most tick-riddled dog Wheatley's ever seen, but it wasn't the last one. She said she typically finds ticks on one or two dogs a week, and with tick season approaching, she's bracing for the unpleasant task of plucking out more of the blood-gorged creatures.
County and state officials say 2006 will be a good year to be a tick. Estimating and predicting the tick population is not an exact science, but Dick Davis, a biologist with the California Department of Health Services, said it's "a relatively good guess" that ticks will be unusually plentiful this spring and summer.
Two years of heavy rainfall and cool weather means more plant and animal life, which gives ticks more rodents and lizards to feed on, and more grass to perch on as they await their prey.
Ounce of prevention
Tick bites are more common in the spring and summer, but the term "tick season" is a bit of a misnomer, Davis said. Ticks are present year-round, but during warm weather, they're more likely to bump into people and their pets. That puts people at a higher risk for bites, infections and diseases.
Ticks usually latch onto people during hiking or other outdoor activities in Ventura County's backroads. To avoid becoming lunch, you should stay on the trails and wear long pants, Davis said.
"Ticks don't fly and they don't jump," he said. "They're usually sitting on the ends of grasses about a foot off the ground, so they're going to end up on your leg or ankle."
Apart from keeping exposed skin to a minimum, the best way to guard against ticks is to search for them and get rid of them before they sink their barbed mouths under the skin, Davis said.
Even after a tick has latched on, it's not too late to protect yourself. It takes about 48 hours for a tick to start transmitting Lyme disease, Davis said.
"All those stories about using Vaseline or burning it with a match, they're all wrong," he said. "If you do find a tick that's embedded and feeding, grasp the tick with tweezers as close as possible to the skin, and pull firmly and gently. Hopefully, all the mouth parts will come with it. Then disinfect the site and wash your hands."
"Gently" is the key word, Davis said. If the tick's head breaks off under the skin, it can cause an infection.
The same strategies apply to pets, Wheatley said. Medication can keep both fleas and ticks away, and if ticks are found, they can be soaked in special treatments that make them slide out easier, she said.
Lyme disease rare here
Although infections are the most common danger from tick bites, there's also a small risk of catching a potentially serious disease. Lyme disease is concentrated in the Midwest and on the East Coast, but it's not unheard of in Ventura County.
Mice and other rodents are often infected with Lyme disease, and ticks spread the disease by carrying the infection to people, Davis said.
Symptoms include fever, headaches and a skin rash. Lyme disease can be cured by antibiotics. If not caught early, however, it can lead to arthritis, meningitis and other serious problems.
Since 2002, 17 Ventura County residents have been diagnosed with Lyme disease, said Kim Kandarin, the public health coordinator for the county's communicable disease office. But that doesn't mean they caught the disease here. A recent study of 50 ticks captured in the county found no Lyme disease, said Cary Svoboda, an ecologist with the county's Vector Control Program.
"My guess is, (Lyme disease) is probably out there somewhere," Davis said. "There's no reason to believe it wouldn't be found if one looked hard enough."
