As Independence Day approaches, it is essential to recognize that fireworks can provoke a canine's fight-or-flight response due to the loud, unpredictable noises, flashing lights, and vibrations. Create a secure environment for your dog indoors and utilize music or radio to mask the sounds. If you walk your dog outside, ensure they are on a leash and their identification tags are current. Also, verify that their microchip information is up-to-date. Have a safe holiday!
