While we thankfully ban fireworks in the Canyon good information that can help during thunderstorms too.
Protect Your Pets on the 4th
Cats and dogs don’t as a rule care for fireworks, so be prepared for a pretty stressful evening.
🧨 Refill anti-anxiety medications ahead of time
🧨 Be sure your pets are licensed, wearing an ID tag and are microchipped with your most current information, and have a recent photo of your pets on hand
🧨 Exercise your dogs early in the day—they'll be easier to handle and calmer in the evening
🧨 Keep toxic items like charcoal, glow sticks, fireworks and sparklers, and food items like avocados, onions and fruit pits out of reach
🧨 During fireworks, keep your pets indoors in a comfortable room, close the curtains, turn on a radio or TV for familiar noise, and stay with them if possible
🧨 Calming diffusers and anxiety wraps can help your pets relax
🧨 Treats or a new toy can help distract your pets throughout the evening
🧨 NEVER LIGHT FIREWORKS NEAR YOUR PETS!!!
