๐ The 4th of July is NEXT WEEKEND! ๐พ
Fireworks may be fun for us, but for many pets, they can be one of the most frightening nights of the year.
Now is the time to make sure your furry family members are ready for a safe and stress-free holiday!
๐ถ Does your pet need anti-anxiety medication?
If your pet has a history of being fearful during fireworks, don't wait until the last minute. Give us a call this week so we can discuss whether medication may be appropriate. Please remember that many medications require a trial run before the holiday to ensure they work well for your pet.
๐ก Keep pets safely indoors.
The Fourth of July is the #1 day of the year for lost pets. Even pets who have never tried to escape before can panic and run when fireworks begin.
Before the celebrations start:
โ
Keep pets inside in a secure, quiet room.
โ
Make sure collars and ID tags are on and up to date.
โ
Double-check that your pet's microchip information is current.
โ
Close windows, doors, and gates securely.
โ
Play calming music or turn on the TV to help drown out outside noises.
A little preparation now can make all the difference in keeping your pet safe, calm, and home where they belong. โค๏ธ
