Some safety suggestions during July 4 celebrations...
💥Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there's great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away.
💥Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during parties and fireworks.
💥If you're hosting guests, ask them to help keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don’t escape. Placing notes on exit doors and gates can help both you and your guests remain vigilant.
💥Keep your pets inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks.
💥Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal and kabob skewers away from curious pets.
💥Don't let pets get near your barbecue grill while it is in use or still hot.
💥Avoid the urge to feed your pets table scraps or other foods intended for people. Be especially careful to keep them away from these common foods that are actually toxic.
💥Remember that too much sun and heat (and humidity!) can be dangerous to pets. Keep them inside when it's extremely hot/humid, and make sure they have access to shady spots and plenty of water when outdoors. Don't leave pets outside for extended periods in hot weather. And know the signs that a pet may be overheating.
💥Never leave your pet in your car when it's warm outside. Vehicle interiors heat up much faster than the air around them, and even a short time in a locked car can be dangerous to pets.
