A FEARLESS FOURTH. While we're preparing for food and fireworks and other July 4th festivities, we need to keep our pets in mind, too.

SHARING FOOD SAFELY: Many people foods can lead to serious stomach upset in our pets.
🍉 If you want to share a sweet treat with your pets, try seedless watermelon and cut it into small, easy-to-digest cubes.
🍉 You can also give your pets a few bites of unseasoned, fully-cooked meat or corn that has been removed from the cob.

FEARSOME FIREWORKS: It's best to leave pets at home when attending fireworks shows.
🎇 If your presence comforts them, try to remain at home and nearby - occasionally providing comforting words or soothing rubs.
🎇 If your pets want to hide, create a safe space for them, such as a cozy spot under the bed or in a dark closet.
🎇 Try a device such as a thundershirt. The gentle pressure these wraps provide can help our animals feel safe, similar to how we feel during a hug.

HUMIDITY AND HEAT: Temperatures are expected to climb again, and keeping your pets cool is important.
☀️ Your pets will inevitably need to go out for bathroom breaks. Try to keep walks as short as possible while sticking to shaded and grassy areas to protect paw pads.
☀️ Make sure your pet has access to plenty of fresh, clean water. Water can evaporate more quickly in the heat, so refilling the water bowl is important. Additionally, you can add a few ice cubes to their water to keep it cool and refreshing.
☀️ Create cool and shaded spaces for any outdoor pets such as dog and cat houses fitted with air conditioning or fans.
☀️ Keep a close eye on your pet for signs of heatstroke, which can include excessive panting, difficulty breathing, racing heart and excessive drooling. When in doubt, contact your vet and have your pet evaluated.
