🐾 Pet Safety Tips for July 4th:
Keep Pets Indoors:
Even if your pet is usually comfortable outside, fireworks can cause panic. Secure them indoors in a quiet, safe room where they can’t escape.
Create a Comfort Zone:
Set up a cozy space with familiar bedding, toys, and calming music or white noise to help drown out fireworks.
Update ID Tags & Microchips:
Pets may bolt out of fear. Ensure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are current in case they get lost.
Avoid Bringing Pets to Fireworks Displays:
Large crowds and loud noises can be terrifying. It’s best to leave pets at home.
Exercise Early:
Give your pet plenty of exercise earlier in the day so they’re more relaxed come evening.
Close Windows & Curtains:
This helps muffle the noise and blocks out the flashing lights.
Use Calming Aids (if needed):
Consider anxiety wraps, calming pheromones, or vet-recommended anxiety medications if your pet gets extremely distressed.
Watch Out for Toxic Foods and Debris:
Keep alcohol, chocolate, BBQ scraps, and fireworks debris away from curious noses.
Planning ahead can make all the difference. Your pet will thank you for thinking of their comfort and safety! ❤️🐶🐱
