With the 4th of July just around the corner (and, let's be honest, more celebrations than just the day of), now is the time to prep for your pet's safety during all the noise and celebration. Even if your furry friend *used* to handle fireworks like a champ, it only takes one loud boom to change that.

โ
Check your fences & gatesโmake sure everything is secure
โ
Ensure collars & tags are on and microchip info is *up to date* and pre-register them on Petco Love Lost
โ
Make a plan: keep your pet ๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐ ๐, indoors, and in a cozy, secure space
โ
Turn on music or the TV to help muffle the sounds
โ
Try calming aids like Rescue Remedy, ThunderShirts, or their favorite toy or blanket
