Pet Friendly – Page 2

Dog and Cat amenities are the #1 requested asset in DTLA Lofts and Condos for when the beach is too far

Looking for a pet-friendly building in DTLA is getting easier. More buildings are opening their doors and yards to our best friends. Little Tokyo Lofts for one, offers an onsite dog run to tenants’ best friends. As demand for this amenity grows, developers and property managers are getting more creative with their offerings. The dog run is not just a grassy area either. Tenants are requesting dog washing stations and bigger play areas. One Developer says in response to demand, “We’ll have tunnels the dogs can jump on and walk around.” #littletokyolofts

Such pet-friendly offerings are essential in dense downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood, where green spaces are few and far between. But they’re also cropping up throughout the city. So what pet amenities does your building offer? Leave a comment here.

“Dog-friendly amenities have become among the most requested amenity nationwide,” said a DTLA Property Manager. Developers are getting responsive about giving tenants what they want.

Close-in dog parks are another option if you can get away. One nearby DTLA park that is lightly used and is easy to access is at a dog park in South Pasadena just off the 110 Freeway. 650 Stoney Dr. South Pasadena, CA 91030 The Dog area is gated and tucked away out of sight from the main park. Restrooms and play areas are a bonus. Dog beaches are a nice day trip with one off-leash park area in Long Beach and another on leash state beach in Malibu. Keep in mind most LA county beaches do not allow pets.

Sweet furry critters are banned by the state

In recent years landlords and Tenant Associations have opened their doors to the standard dog and cat crowd to Lofts and Condos in DTLA. In cities like Los Angeles, only home owners were likely to be allowed a dog or cat. The LALoftblog has created a list of buildings in the Arts district and downtown core that allow pets. Some readers might be interested in knowing how far they can push the envelop as far as pet species. We’ve seen some pretty raucous german shepherds, great danes, giant akitas and vicious pit bulls at Alta lofts. We’ve heard some giant doberman pincers receiving orders in german at Biscuit Company lofts in the Arts District.

State rules are where we start but make sure to check with your HOA rules or landlord to makes sure the building does not have more restrictive rules about pets. For example some places do not allow for fish tanks. While gold fish are not known as killers the likely damage from a sixty gallon tank failing are not worth the hassle to even consider. Some of the animals on California’s banned-as-pets list are familiar: alligators, raccoons, skunks, hedgehogs, chipmunks and squirrels. Some are predictable: No African lions, caimans or gars. Others are truly exotic – a Gambian giant pouched rat is forbidden as a pet, good to know it did not show up on any requested pet list. Sorry Gambian pouched rat.

Hybrid Cats

These exotic pets which are actually technically domesticated—perhaps more so than a common non-pedigree cat—are legal in most states depending on their percentage of so-called wild genetics. Hybrid cats consist of the breeds Savannah cat (serval hybrid), Bengal cat (Asian Leopard Cat hybrid) and the jungle cat hybrid. None of these hybrids are mixed with so-called big cats, and all are not large enough to desire to prey on humans.

Still, hybrid cats carry a large stigma. In California, all-generation hybrid cats are legal. This rule is much better than in states like New York, which only allow F5 and under. These restrictions are hypocritical under any reason, as ‘regular’ cats can and have attacked humans, have become a serious environmental threat.

Monitor Lizards

Despite being a state with pathetic laws banning hedgehogs and ferrets, reptile laws are

surprisingly lax aside from venomous reptiles. Monitor lizards range from the small and personable Acanthurus monitors which make excellent pets to the large and intimidating Asian water monitors that are best suited for experienced owners. Crocodile monitors are another species notorious for their bad bites that can cause serious reactions from bacterial agents and/or venom in saliva. One owner describes a reaction from a bite:

Large Constrictor Snakes

Some of the largest snakes in the world that possess the capacity to kill an adult human (although actual occurrences of this are rare) appear to be legal in California as they are not named on the prohibited reptile list, unlike venomous snakes and crocodilians. This includes the Burmese python, reticulated python, and green anaconda. These snakes are also unfortunately listed on the Lacey Act as injurious species, meaning they can be owned but cannot be brought over state lines. The boa constrictor is a less large species that is not on the Lacey Act and is legal in California.

Tarantulas

Venomous arthropods like scorpions and tarantulas are also legal to keep in CA, as they probably are in all states except Hawaii. #entarlovesyou

Tucans

Toucans birds are also legal in California. The only illegal parrot is the invasive monk parakeet (or Quaker parrot). Corvids such as crows and magpies are illegal, as well as birds of prey (falcons, hawks, eagles) and vultures. Mynah birds, known for their incredible ability to mimic human speech, are illegal except for the species hill mynah and Rothchild’s mynah. Other interesting species such as toucans, exotic pigeons, and hornbills are legal so those interested in aviculture can do so and enjoy the spoils of Napa Valley or giant red wood forests. #petfreindlybuildings
