๐บ๐ธ Happy 4th of July! โค๏ธ๐ค๐
Our hospital is closed today in observance of Independence Day. We hope you and your pets have a safe and enjoyable holiday!
Fireworks can be exciting for us but very stressful for many pets. Here are a few ways to help keep them safe and comfortable:
๐พ Keep pets indoors in a secure, quiet room before fireworks begin.
๐พ Close windows, blinds, and curtains to help reduce noise and flashes.
๐พ Play calming music, a TV, or a white noise machine to help mask the sound.
๐พ Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with current ID tags and that their microchip information is up to date in case they become frightened and escape.
๐พ Avoid bringing pets to fireworks displays, even if they usually do well in crowds.
๐พ Offer favorite toys, treats, or a cozy hiding spot where they can feel safe.
If your pet is already prescribed anxiety medication for fireworks, administer it exactly as directed by your veterinarian. Please do not give any over-the-counter or human medications unless specifically instructed by a veterinarian.
๐จ If your pet experiences a medical emergency today, such as injury, difficulty breathing, ingestion of something toxic, or severe anxiety that puts them at risk of harming themselves, please seek care at your nearest emergency veterinary hospital immediately.
We'll reopen during our normal business hours on Monday and look forward to seeing you then.
Have a safe & happy Fourth of July! ๐บ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฑ
