Fourth of July is just one week away!

While you're planning your cookouts, vacations, and fireworks, don't forget to prepare your pets, too! The Fourth of July is one of the busiest days of the year for lost pets and noise-related anxiety, so planning ahead can make all the difference.

Start Preparing Now:
- Refill anxiety medications early, don't wait until the holiday.
- Make sure your pet's ID tags are secure and your microchip information is up to date.
- Create a quiet, comfortable "safe space" in your home with their favorite bed, toys, and calming music or white noise.
- If your pet struggles with loud noises, give us a call to discuss options before the fireworks begin.

When the Holiday Arrives:
- Keep pets safely indoors during fireworks.
- Close windows, blinds, and curtains to reduce noise and flashing lights.
- Use caution when taking pets to fireworks displays.
- Keep holiday foods, alcohol, fireworks, glow sticks, and other potential hazards out of reach.
- Be sure all gates, doors, and fences are secure to help prevent frightened pets from escaping.

A little preparation now can help your pet stay safe, comfortable, and stress-free throughout the holiday.

From all of us at Thoreau Veterinary Hospital, we wish you a fun, safe, and happy Fourth of July!

As temperatures rise, it's important to keep our furry family members safe from the summer heat!

Here are a few tips to help protect your pets:
- Always provide fresh, cool water.
- Limit outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day.
- Walk dogs in the early morning or evening when sidewalks are cooler.
- Check the pavement with your hand, if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for their paws!
- Never leave pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a few minutes.
- Make sure your pet has access to shade and a cool place to rest.

Watch for signs of heatstroke, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse. If you suspect your pet is overheating, move them to a cool area and contact your veterinarian immediately.

Let's keep our pets happy, healthy, and safe all summer long!
