As 4th of July approaches let’s be smart with our pets. Instead of cursing all your neighbors simply prepare for what’s coming. Leash walk your dogs to the bathroom so they don’t get startled and try to escape the yard. Keep music playing , a TV or a white noise machine to drown out the outside noise as best as possible. If you’re home during this time keep your dog close so they feel safe and ride it out. It’s one day and as distracting as it may be it’s not going away with complaining or cursing your neighbors. So let’s try to enjoy the holiday and do your best to keep your pets safe. Please do not leave your dogs outside tomorrow unattended. It’s the number one day of the year for dogs escaping and running away.

Enjoy the holiday and be safe!
