4th of July Necessities + Tips
1st - Collar on your dog with current phone number. At the bare minimum piece of painters tape on the collar with your phone number.
2nd - No unsupervised potty breaks outside this week. Dogs jump fences and break through fences when spooked.
Close your doggy doors this week. Don’t allow free access in and out.
If you know your dog gets spooked aim for early dinners if possible 3/4pm-ish so they have time to digest and potty before dark instead of having to be out in the later evenings after dark.
Consider using a leash EVEN in your yard for your evening potties.
Any walks off your property make sure your collar is snug enough there is no chance of them slipping out.
If you normally allow some off leash freedom on your walks - use a leash this week.
Want to escape the fireworks ? đź’Ą
Go to a place that doesn’t allow them!
Take a couple night vacay with your dog.
Basically anywhere in the forest!
So many options…
Nevada County (as stated in the shared post )
Tahoe National Forest …
The list goes on and on but those are closest.
Airbnb, hotel, campground…. Whatever suites your fancy.
We live in Unincorporated Placer County and are just far enough away from the neighborhoods and towns that we are lucky to have no trouble here and be able to offer sanctuary to our client pups if needed.
Kids and families should get to enjoy their fireworks if they want to. And many solid confident dogs aren’t even phased by them.
But error on the side of caution and be proactive in helping your dog stay safe.
If you know your dog has stress with loud noises hopefully these tips will help.
If you’re unable to escape with your dog and you know your dog is going to be panicking- PLEASE call your vet and ask what meds options might be available to help them through this. Monday 1st thing! Your vet will be BUSY this week.
