Fireworks are a holiday tradition, but they can be overwhelming for many pets. 🎆🐾
If you're celebrating this Fourth of July, remember these three ways to help keep your pets safe:
• Reduce the risk of lost pets by keeping them indoors, using a leash outside and making sure their ID tags and microchip information are up to date. 🐕
• Create a calm and secure environment with a quiet room, familiar comforts and background noise to help reduce stress. 🏡
• Plan ahead if your pet struggles with fireworks by talking with your veterinarian about calming strategies or medications before the holiday. 💜
