🇺🇸🐾 Happy 4th of July from Healing Paws Veterinary Center! ❤️🤍💙
We hope you and your furry family members have a fun and safe holiday! As you celebrate, keep these pet safety tips in mind:
🌭 Keep tempting holiday foods out of reach, especially fatty foods, corn cobs, and BBQ skewers.
🎆 If your pet is nervous around fireworks (or this is their very first 4th of July), keep them indoors in a quiet, secure room. Close the windows, turn on a fan or white noise machine, and help them feel calm and comfortable.
☀️ Remember the heat! Walk your pets early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler. Hot pavement can burn sensitive paw pads, so stick to grassy areas whenever possible during the hottest part of the day.
Special thank you to our adorable dog models Arlo and Beau.
