Most Veterinary Hospitals require at least 24hr notice for refills of medications. Check your pets anxiety medications and plan ahead for fireworks.

🎆 Fireworks are fun for us — but frightening for some pets.

Now’s the time to prepare. Many dogs and cats experience noise aversion, which can lead to anxiety, pacing, hiding, or even escaping.

👩‍⚕️ Veterinarians can help with:
✔️ Medication and calming strategies
✔️ Behavior-based support
✔️ Safe space planning

📋 AAHA’s Behavior and Senior Care Guidelines both offer insights into managing noise aversion — especially in pets who may be more vulnerable.

👉 Call your vet today if your pet needs help before the fireworks begin!
