As temperatures warm up everybody is itching to get outside, including our dogs, cats and other furry family members.

While this sounds like a great idea, winter’s thaw brings out some seasonal pests, allergens and other threats that pet people need to keep in mind. For example, make sure your pets are microchipped; spending more time outside means more chances to escape or get lost.

The ASPCA offers pointers toward reducing or eliminating barriers to pets having a warm, delightful spring.

Don’t get bugged!

April showers bring May flowers — and an onslaught of bugs! Make sure your pet is on year-round heartworm preventive medication, as well as a flea and tick control program. Ask your veterinarian to recommend a plan designed for your pet.

Allergy action

Like us, pets can be allergic to foods, dust, plants and pollens. Allergic reactions in dogs and cats can cause itching, minor sniffling and sneezing, or life-threatening anaphylactic shock to insect bites and stings. If you suspect your pet has a springtime allergy, visit your veterinarian as soon as possible.

Screen window screens

Many pet parents welcome the breezy days of spring by opening their windows. Unfortunately, they also unknowingly put their pets at risk — especially cats, who are apt to jump or fall through unscreened windows. Be sure to install sturdy screens in all of your windows.

Spring cleaning

Spring cleaning is a time-honored tradition but be sure to keep all cleaners and chemicals out of your pets’ way. Almost all cleaning products, even all-natural ones, contain chemicals that may be harmful to pets.

Buckle up

Most dogs love to feel the wind on their faces but allowing them to ride in the beds of pickup trucks or stick their heads out of car windows is dangerous. Flying debris and insects can cause ear or eye injuries and lung infections. Abrupt stops or turns can cause major injury. Pets should be secured in a crate or by a seatbelt harness.

Watch your garden, and pets

Fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides keep plants and lawns healthy and green, but may be dangerous if your pet ingests them, so store them in out-of-the-way places and follow label instructions carefully. Many popular springtime plants also are highly toxic to pets and can prove fatal if eaten. See www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants for a comprehensive list.

Home improvement

It may be wise to confine your dog or cat to a designated pet-friendly room during home improvement projects. Products such as paints, mineral spirits and solvents can be toxic to your pets and cause severe irritation or burns. Also, be cautious of physical hazards, including nails, staples, insulation, blades and power tools.

Look for Easter eggs

Keep lilies and candy in check — chocolate goodies are toxic to cats and dogs, and all true lilies can be fatal if ingested by cats. And be mindful, kitties love to nibble on colorful plastic grass, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract, severe vomiting and dehydration.

The Yavapai College Performing Arts Center is opening the 2022-23 cabaret series with a concert by Raul Midón on August 26 & 27. Here is today's announcement from YC.- - -Raul Midón Launches YCPAC Cabaret SeriesGrammy-nominated guitarist is the first of four intimate shows, August 26-27Prescott, Arizona (8/12/2022) – While many theaters open with splash and fury, Yavapai College Performing Arts Center’s star-studded ’22-23 season commences with an intimate encounter, an unforgettable artist, and a format that has become a local favorite. Be there when YCPAC brings its audience in close and cranks up the star power August 26 & 27, when Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist Raul Midón launches the eighth season of its critically acclaimed Cabaret Series. “I began the Cabaret Series seven years ago and it has been my most favorite concert experience on our stage.” Dr. Craig Ralston, YC Performing Arts Director of Programming & Development, said. “We bring our audiences close to the artists in an intimate atmosphere that allows for a truly unique experience.”While some performers raise the roof, others – like Raul Midón – are best appreciated from a closer distance. A two-time Grammy nominee for Best Jazz Vocal Album (Bad Ass & Blind and If You Really Want), Midón was praised by the New York Times as “a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.” His flowing style and way with a lyric shine best in an intimate setting – and the Cabaret Series provides just that.By turning its 1,100-seat auditorium into a 120-seat Bistro, YCPAC invites Cabaret audiences to join the artist up onstage. Watching comfortably from tables with coffee, drinks or hors d’oeuvres, audiences can catch every chord and nuance of a truly remarkable performer. “Raul is a favorite of mine – an exceptional musician with an amazing life story.” Ralston said. “We oversold his show five years ago when he was last here. So, this year we are offering two performances.”Raul Midón is only one of four acts to enjoy the intimate setting and stellar acoustics of YCPAC’s Cabaret Series this season. On October 21, Cabaret audiences will gather again onstage to enjoy The Brian Chartrand Quartet. Favorites of the Phoenix club scene and the PAC’s own Concerts on the Green series, Brian Chartrand deftly blends soulful original songs with an extensive rock/folk set list that has captivated crowds everywhere from the Crescent Ballroom to Carnegie Hall.The Cabaret Series returns in 2023 with straight-ahead jazz saxophone from one of Harlem’s absolute best. Bill Saxton & the Harlem All-Stars unites the renowned sideman and Nick’s Jazz Club veteran with a select team of club circuit virtuosos on February 24, for an evening full of crackle and bounce that its audience won’t soon forget.YCPAC closes its Cabaret season May 5, with a heartfelt journey through Latin music with a soprano voice we’ve come to love. Sofrito & the Blues brings cherished Messiah soloist Carmen Cancél back to Prescott … this time as part of a Latin Quartet. Cancél joins guitarist Juancho Herrera, César Orozco on piano, and drummer Jainardo Batista – for a captivating odyssey through of Latin, jazz, and blues standards and beyond.Tickets for Raul Midón are $55 general admission, which includes seating at a table onstage, appetizers, desserts, coffee or tea and a cash bar. YCPAC’s Cabaret Season special – a 15% savings for patrons who purchase the entire four-show season – continues through August 27.The Yavapai College Performing Arts Center is located at 1100 E. Sheldon Street, in Prescott. The YCPAC Ticket Office is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.; and Thursdays and Fridays, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. For reservations or more information, please call: (928) 776.2000 or visit us online at: www.ycpac.com. ...
