Below are some tips for your weekend festivities.
Fourth of July celebrations can bring safety concerns for your pets. Fireworks can be loud and very frightening. Below are some tips for preparing in advance.
Take your dog out for plenty of exercise during the day before the firework festivities begin.
Close your windows. Dogs have been known to push through screens on windows and doors.
Turn on music, fans or something for "white noise" for your pets.
Make sure your pets have identification tags with up to date information. If you have horses, consider marking a breakaway halter with your up to date information or yes, they can also be microchipped!
If your pets are not already microchipped, call us about scheduling an appointment to get them chipped. If your pets are already microchipped, make sure your chip registry has your up to date contact information.
Take a photo of all of your pets, including your horses---just in case.
Make sure your animals are safe and secure. Make sure fences are secure or bring small animals inside.
If your pet gets anxious during fireworks, visit with us about supplements or prescriptions to help during this noisy, frightening time for them.
After the celebrations are over, check your yard and pastures for debris, food scraps, even skewers! Curious animals may pick things up to play with it or eat it!
Have a safe and happy 4th!
