πΊπΈπΎ Fourth of July Pet Safety Series: Let's Get Ahead of the Fireworks! πΎπΊπΈ
Every year around the Fourth of July, hundreds of pets go missing after becoming frightened by fireworks and celebrations. The best chance of being reunited with your pet is making sure they have BOTH a collar with a visible ID tag and a registered microchip. β€οΈ
A microchip is one of the simplest ways to help lost pets find their way home. In fact, microchipped pets are significantly more likely to be reunited with their families if they become lost.
π If your pup struggles with loud noises, anxiety, or fireworks, now is the time to call your veterinarian.
Not July 1st.
Not July 2nd.
And definitely not July 3rd.
Call today.
Whether your dog may benefit from prescription sedation or a mild anti-anxiety medication, getting ahead of the holiday rush gives you time to prepare and helps ensure a safer, less stressful holiday for everyone.
π FREE MICROCHIPS & ID TAGS π
Riverside County residents can take advantage of FREE microchips and ID tags from June 23rd through July 4th. No appointment is needed and walk-ins are welcome! πΆπ±
