THINGS TO DO AND KEEP IN MIND WITH YOUR PETS ON THE 4TH:

Fireworks, picnics and other Fourth of July traditions 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; and potentially dangerous debris can end up lying on the ground where pets can eat or play with it.

Whether or not you're planning your own Independence Day celebration, it's important to take precautions to keep your pets safe both during and after Fourth of July festivities.

Preparing in advance:

Make sure your pets—cats and dogs alike—have identification tags with up-to-date information.
If your pets are microchipped, make sure your contact information in the microchip registry is up to date.
Take a current photo of all of your cats and dogs just in case.

Make sure the environment is safe and secure. If your neighbors set off fireworks at an unexpected time, is your yard secure enough to keep your pet contained? Evaluate your options, and choose the safest area for your animals. Make improvements if needed to make the area more secure.

Safety 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.

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.

After the celebrations:

Check your yard for fireworks debris before allowing pets outside to play or relax. Even if you didn't set off fireworks yourself, debris can make its way into your yard, where curious animals may pick it up to play with or eat.

If you hosted guests, check both your yard and home for food scraps or other debris that might be dangerous to pets, such as food skewers.

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY!

The "Bears" were in the house!
Cub Scout Pack 265, that is.

We had the honor of having a great group of cub scouts last night at Franklin Animal Clinic at Greenwood Park to learn all about veterinary medicine from Dr. Sara Jordan.
Dr. Jordan brought her own dog, Nora to be the practice patient. Nora was only too happy to oblige.
Dr. Jordan told the scouts about the "nose to tail" exam she does on every pet that comes in for a physical exam and demonstrated on Nora. She also had a couple of sick patient scenarios for the scouts to figure out and described how it can be like a "puzzle" that you have to figure out. The scouts had great questions and problem solving answers.
She went on to show them how to suture on a practice board and let them try their hand at it as well. As one scout said, "it looks easy, but it's not!"
She then showed them how to look at red blood cells through a microscope, and one by one the scouts peered through the scope. The parents did too!
She also gave them a tour of the surgery room, recovery, and the treatment room where we do our diagnostic testing, digital x-rays and ultrasounds. They were fascinated, to say the least.

When it was all over, I was amazed at how intelligent these young boys were and then I took the last picture of them being goofy and thought, that's right, enjoy being young!

They were absolutely great!
