The 4th of July is not fun for our furry friends😔
Hoping that everyone stays safe and calm this week 🐾🐾❤️
It's your boy Kevin The Dog with the mic today folks! Listen, I’m not here to judge your sparkly sky explosions, but there's a couple things we need to talk about.
The big sky booms are coming soon (aka the 4th of July), and while you humans love the fireworks, us pets… not so much. A lot of my furry friends get so scared they run away — the days surrounding Independence Day have the highest surge in stray dogs nationwide each year!
So here’s your friendly reminder to keep us safe:
🐾 Keep pets indoors during fireworks.
🐾 Make sure our ID tags & microchips are up to date.
🐾 If you’re having guests, keep doors shut and pets in a secure room. Make sure guests know not to let us out.
🐾 Play music or TV to help with the noise.
🐾 Give us a tasty treat to distract us (I recommend peanut butter Kongs!).
🐾 If loud noises make your pet anxious, talk to your vet about meds, calming treats, or a Thundershirt.
Have a happy and safe 4th! ❤️🤍💙
Love, Kevin (and SPCA Wake)
