Did you know that more pets go missing around the Fourth of July than almost any other time of the year? Itβs true!
With 4th of July right around the corner, now is the time to be informed about Pet Safety! β€οΈπ
As a fellow pet owner, animal lover and advocate, and small business owner, I want to share a few simple ways to help keep your pets safe for this 4th! This is important to keep in mind because even dogs who normally seem confident year round can become frightened by fireworks and loud or extreme noises.
So here are my 4 tips for the 4th! ππΊπΈ
1. Make sure your pets ID tags and microchips are up to date with current address and contact information. π π
2. Keep pets indoors during fireworks. Plan ahead for potty breaks before the sun goes down in order to limit the amount of outside exposure your dogs will have during peak hours of fireworks. π
3. Close any windows, blinds, and curtains. This will help block any flashes of light that could suddenly spook your pup! π
4. Try your best to provide a quiet, comfortable space where they can relax. This might be hard when it is so loud outside, but you can also play music or white noise to help mask outside sounds. π΅π₯°
& please donβt forget that just because your pet has been fine with fireworks in the past, it does not mean they will always be okay with them. Age and circumstances can change the situation from dog to dog. Itβs always better to be safe than sorry!πΆ
I am already fully booked for this 4th of July for boarding, but do have more open availability starting Monday, July 6th, for both daycare and boarding. β€οΈπ€π
I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July next week! Stay safe πΆπΊπΈβ¨
