🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 🎆 4TH OF JULY PET SAFETY REMINDER! 🐾🎇 ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
As you celebrate this Independence Day, don't forget that fireworks can be frightening for our furry family members. 🐶🐱 Here are a few simple ways to help keep your pets safe and stress-free this holiday:
🏠 Keep Pets Indoors
Fireworks can cause even the calmest pets to panic and run away. Keep them safely inside with doors, windows, and gates securely closed.
🎵 Play Calming Music or White Noise
Turn on the TV, radio, or a white noise machine to help drown out the loud booms.
🏷️ Check Microchips & ID Tags
Make sure your pet's collar fits properly and that their ID tags and microchip information are current—just in case they get loose.
🧸 Create a Safe Space
Provide a quiet room with their favorite bed, blanket, and toys where they can feel secure.
🚫 Keep Pets Away from Fireworks
Never bring pets to fireworks displays. Sparklers, firecrackers, and spent fireworks can cause serious burns and injuries.
🍔 Avoid Holiday Foods
Keep BBQ favorites, bones, onions, grapes, chocolate, alcohol, and xylitol-containing treats out of reach.
💙 Watch for Signs of Stress
🐾 Excessive panting
🐾 Trembling or shaking
🐾 Hiding
🐾 Pacing or whining
🐾 Trying to escape
☎️ If your pet experiences severe anxiety or you have concerns about helping them through fireworks season, give us a call before the holiday. We're happy to discuss options to help keep them comfortable.
🇺🇸❤️ Wishing you and your furry family a safe, happy, and peaceful 4th of July! ❤️🤍💙🐾🎆
