🎆 Happy 4th of July! Keep Your Pets Safe 🐾
With fireworks, BBQs, and celebrations in full swing, let’s not forget our furry friends! 🐶🐱 Loud noises and crowds can stress pets out, so here are **7️⃣ quick tips** from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to keep them safe:
1️⃣ Keep pets indoors – Loud fireworks can scare them, leading to runaway risks.
2️⃣ Create a safe space – A quiet room with their bed and toys helps reduce anxiety.
3️⃣ Skip the scraps – Avoid sharing BBQ treats; some human foods are toxic to pets.
4️⃣ Check your yard – Before letting pets outside, remove debris or firework remnants.
5️⃣ Update ID tags & microchips – In case they get lost, proper ID increases their chances of coming home.
6️⃣ Skip the glow sticks – Fun for us, but dangerous if chewed by pets.
7️⃣ Stay calm & comfort them – Your presence can help ease their stress.
