Fireworks are scary to pets! Did you know more pets go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year? Keep your furry family members safe and stress-free with these simple tips:
☎️ Talk to us! – If your pet gets anxious with loud noises, call us today to ask about calming medications or other options.
🏠 Keep pets indoors – Fireworks can be very frightening. Bring them inside before the festivities begin.
🆔 Check ID & microchips – Make sure your pet's microchip info is up-to-date and they’re wearing ID tags in case they get loose.
🎶 Create a calming space – Turn on the TV or radio to help mask fireworks and create a cozy, secure space inside.
🐕 Exercise early – Get in a long walk or extra playtime in the morning to help burn off energy and reduce stress later in the day.
Let’s help our pets feel safe and secure this holiday! ❤️🐶🐱

The Coton de Tulear, also known as the ‘royal dog of Madagascar’, it is a long-established breed that takes its name from Tulear, a port town on the island’s southwest coast. It is said that in the 15th century several Bichon-type dogs from Tenerife survived a pirate shipwreck and swam to Tulear, where they interbred with local terriers, resulting in the Coton de Tulear. It became a very popular dog in the royal homes, so much so that a law was published that prohibited having this breed to anyone who did not belong to the nobility of Madagascar.

The border collie originated in Britain around the English and Scottish border during the 1800s.
A defining event was the advent of the first competitive sheepdog trial in 1873, in which a dog named H**p made such a good showing that he became sought after for stud. H**p is considered to be the father of the border collie.
H**p and his progeny herded not by nipping and barking, as was commonplace, but by staring and stalking (known as "giving eye"). This intimidated the sheep into moving.
