Unfortunately some in my neighborhood celebrate 4th of July week rather than just the day when it comes to fireworks, so I’ve been trying to make sure all of the dogs get plenty of exercise before evening in order to help them cope. Just a reminder that if you are trying to do the same to watch the intensity of the exercise, especially in the late afternoon heat.
Don’t be tempted to exhaust your dog at the expense of safety in order to make him calmer. The only thing worse than dealing with fireworks and dogs is adding a trip to the emergency vet for heat exhaustion or bloat to the mix! Wishing all of you bravery on a holiday that some of us dread😬!
