July 4th is just around the corner, are you and your pets ready for the booms, bangs, and bright lights?
While fireworks and festivities are fun for us, they can be downright terrifying for our furry friends. Every year, countless pets go missing after being spooked by loud noises. A little preparation now can make all the difference in keeping them safe and calm.
If your pet takes anxiety medication, NOW is the time to check your supply and request any necessary refills. Don’t wait until the fireworks are lighting up the sky to realize you’re out!
Next, double-check your pet’s microchip information. If your dog or cat manages to escape during the excitement, a quick scan of a microchip with up-to-date info can help bring them back home. Make sure their collars have current ID tags, too, but keep in mind, collars can fall off. A microchip is permanent.
Jellybean, Winifiried, Macaroni, Roxxanne, and Daisy are already ahead of the game! Their paw-rents refilled their anxiety meds and updated their microchip info. And Chewy and Loki the cats? They’ll be staying safe and sound indoors with current chips.
The safest place for your pet during fireworks? Inside the house; windows closed, maybe some soothing music playing, and plenty of comfort from you. Even a tall fence won’t stop a panicked dog from trying to flee loud sounds!
Taking a few simple steps NOW can help ensure your pet stays safe, calm, and exactly where they belong; right at home with you.
