FIREWORKS AREN’T FOR EVERYBODY Keep Your Pets Safe This Fourth of July

Hello, everyone!

We know it’s a little early to be talking about the Fourth of July, but Izzy and I wanted to get this information in your paws as soon as possible. Independence Day is certainly a lot of fun. Who doesn’t love a good parade and backyard barbecue? But this holiday is also pretty dangerous for dogs and cats. This is because, while humans love their fireworks, we animals aren’t big fans. Why do you want to watch something so loud and bright? It’s terrifying! In fact, the only thing scarier than fireworks is realizing you’ve accidentally lost your family because you were trying to run away from the loud noise. The American Kennel Club reports that the Fourth of July is the busiest time for lost pets. The best way to keep your pets safe during the celebrations is to keep them indoors. If you have time, you could even take your dog for a long walk or play a rousing game of fetch to tire them out so they sleep through the fireworks. You can also do a few things to help make your dog feel as relaxed as possible. Keep the blinds

peanut butter-

filled toy. Some dogs and cats even have their own ThunderShirt, a sort of jacket that uses light pressure to create a calming sensation. You can learn more about those at ThunderShirt.com. No matter how careful you are, accidents can always happen. Be sure your cat or dog has updated ID tags and is microchipped, so if they do run away, you have a better chance of getting them back. Remember, fireworks aren’t fun for everyone, and no one wants to start the summer by losing their best friend.
