July 4th 🇺🇸 and FIREWORKS 🎆are very stressful for your pets. To help reduce a pet’s stress and anxiety from the noise, there are a variety of medications and supplements that can help. Owners should CONTACT OUR OFFICE EARLY to determine which is best as every pet and situation is different. More pets run away due to fireworks than for any other reason, according to PetAmberAlert there is a 30% increase in lost pets each year between July 4 and 6. Other helpful tips for pets with anxiety include:
• Walk your pet during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off
• Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks
• Put on some music or tv to mask the firework sounds
• Create a quiet space where your pet can feel in control
• Create some hiding places around your home
• Make sure your pet has a collar, ID tag or microchip in the event that they may try to run away
