🎉🎆4th of July is just around the corner! 🎇🎉
Make sure to keep your pets safe this 4th of July by following some of these safety tips.
Tips to keep your pet safe:
1. Play calming music or have the TV on.
2. Do not let them outside, unsupervised.
3. Keep all doors, windows, and doggie doors secured.
4. Talk to your veterinarian about other medications that can help with reducing anxiety.
5. Hire a pet-sitter if you are leaving for the night.
6. MAKE SURE YOUR PET IS MICROCHIPPED OR WEARING AN UPDATED TAG WITH YOUR INFORMATION.
(If you cannot afford a microchip or tag, try getting an inexpensive collar and write your phone number on it, in permanent marker)
7. Provide your dog with stimuli when you leave (frozen Kong with treats inside, puzzles, frozen carrots, etc).
8. Exercise your pup early-on in the day!
9. Take a current photograph of your dog.
10. Don’t take your pet along for the fireworks.
If your pet gets lost this holiday, check out your local shelters!! Keep looking for at least a week at your local shelters! Many of these pets wandered away from home trying to get away from the loud noises and get lost. So please, if you have a furry friend at home think of them this holiday and make sure they stay safe!
