Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 Here are some tips on how to keep your dogs safe this holiday:
It is no secret that dogs are not big fans of loud noises. They are likely to become frightened by the bang of fireworks 🎇 , and the noises may even scare them enough to run away. If you want your pup to participate in the festivities, it is best to bring him inside as the sun goes down. Keeping him in a familiar and somewhat quiet area will help keep him calm as fireworks light up the sky.
The 4th of July is often the hottest ☀️ holiday of the year. No matter where you are in the country, it is likely that the temperatures will be warmer than what your dog is used to. It is important to keep an eye on him at all times to ensure he is not overheating. Heat stroke can occur quickly, especially for dogs with thicker coats of fur. Keeping your dog hydrated and out of the heat is the best way to prevent heat stroke.
