Pet Safety Tips for July 4th
Fireworks and picnics can be great fun for people; but all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals. Noisy fireworks and other celebrations can startle animals and cause them to run away; holiday foods can be unhealthy; summer heat and travel can be dangerous.
Keeping your pets inside during the fireworks and other celebrations can help them from becoming lost.
Make sure your pet is microchipped and your information is up to date.
It’s important to take precautions to keep your pets safe both during and after the July 4th festivities.
