Licensing Your Pet in Cedar City

If you live within Cedar City Limits, your dog (or cat) is supposed to be licensed with the city.  A dog tag will be issued at the time of purchase and should be on your dog’s collar.

Currently, there are two locations that you can license your dog.  One is at the Cedar City Animal Control,  435-586-2960, 1150 Kitty Hawk Drive, Cedar City and the other at the City Offices, 435- 586-2953 10 N. MainStreet, Cedar City.

The cost to license is $10.00 if your pet is spayed or neutered and $50.

Scoop The Poop

 
In speaking with Cedar City Officials and City Council Members over the last few months, The Cedar City Dog Park Group has found that the number one complaint has been that there is dog waste left behind everywhere.
 
Our hope is to curtail this problem by bringing awareness to the general dog owning public that this is NOT acceptable.
 
Beside the fact that there are serious health risks to humans as well as dogs by not picking up after dogs, it is just plain disgusting.
 
One gram of dog waste contains up to 23 MILLION fecal coliform bacteria which are known to cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness and serious kidney disorders in humans.

How to Exercise Your Indoor Cat

Do you worry that your indoor cat is not getting enough exercise? While it is true that cats have the evolutionary advantage of a high metabolism that works even as they lounge around (see lions in the wild), they do still need some physical activity to keep them from a sedentary life of sloth and eventual obesity.
 
Unlike dogs, cats cannot be hitched to the end of a leash and taken for a stroll around the neighborhood -- well, some can, but they need to be trained from kitten-hood. It may take a little imagination, along with some trial and error, but you

A Tree of Goats?

No Kidding....
Yes these are real goats in real trees.  Some bored geek did not photoshop them.  They live in Morocco and have learned to climb trees for their food as the area is sparse in food sources.  Pretty amazing!
 
 
 
 

Doggles for Your Dog

A client of mine asked if I had ever heard of sunglasses for dogs.  I have seen them before but decided to look into them a little further.  There are a number of different colors and styles and they call them doggles.  I wouldn't be surprised if they end up being the new trend.  I have attached a few links of where they can be found.  No only are they really cool to look at they even offer 100% UV protection!  They range in price from $10 and up.

2. No one notices if you have hair growing in weird places as you get older.

3. Personal hygiene is a blast: No one expects you to take a bath every day, and you don't even have to comb your own hair.

4. Having a wet nose is considered a sign of good health.   

5. No one thinks less of you for passing gas. Some people might actually think you're cute.

6. Who needs a big home entertainment system?
