🎆🐾 Fourth of July Pet Safety Reminder from Wash & Wag of Culpeper 🐾🎆
The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and while we love the celebrations, fireworks can be very stressful for many pets.
Here are a few tips to help keep your furry family members calm and safe:
🇺🇸 Keep pets indoors before fireworks begin
🇺🇸 Make sure collars, ID tags, and microchip information are up to date
🇺🇸 Close blinds and curtains to reduce flashes and noise
🇺🇸 Turn on the TV, radio, or a fan for background sound
🇺🇸 Provide a safe, comfortable space where they can relax
🇺🇸 Take dogs out for a potty break before dark
🇺🇸 Never bring pets to fireworks displays
🇺🇸 If your pet has a history of severe anxiety during fireworks, contact your veterinarian now to discuss calming medications before appointment schedules fill up closer to the holiday
Remember, more pets go missing around the Fourth of July than almost any other time of year. A little preparation can make a big difference!
Have a safe and happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙

🐾 Ticks, Alpha-Gal Syndrome & Prevention for Pets and People 🐾
With summer here, ticks are out in full force. They're more than just a nuisance—they can carry diseases that affect both humans and pets.
What is Alpha-Gal Syndrome?
Alpha-gal syndrome is a potentially serious allergy that can develop after the bite of certain ticks, especially the Lone Star Tick, which is common in Virginia. People who develop alpha-gal syndrome can have allergic reactions to beef, pork, lamb, and other mammal products.
Symptoms may include:
Hives or itching
Stomach pain, nausea, or diarrhea
Swelling
In severe cases, anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic reaction)
Ticks Can Also Spread:
Lyme Disease
Ehrlichiosis
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Protecting Your Dogs
✔ Use a veterinarian-recommended flea and tick preventative year-round.
✔ Check your dog daily, especially after walks or time outdoors.
✔ Pay close attention to ears, neck, armpits, between toes, and under collars.
✔ Keep grass mowed and brush trimmed around your home.
✔ Ask your veterinarian about regular testing for Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis.
Protecting Yourself & Your Family
✔ Wear long sleeves and pants when in tall grass or wooded areas.
✔ Use EPA-approved tick repellents.
✔ Shower and perform tick checks after spending time outdoors.
✔ Remove ticks promptly with fine-tipped tweezers.
Tick Checks Matter!
The sooner a tick is found and removed, the lower the risk of disease transmission.
At Wash & Wag of Culpeper, we encourage pet owners to check their pets regularly during tick season. If you find a tick, remove it carefully and monitor for any signs of illness. When in doubt, contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider.
Stay safe and enjoy the summer! ☀️🐾
