🎆 Fourth of July Fireworks & Pet Safety Alert:
The Fourth of July may be a celebration for us, but for pets, it’s often a night of fear and flight. Animal shelters across the U.S. report a 30% spike in lost pets between July 4–6 due to fireworks-induced panic. Here’s how to keep your furry companions safe and calm:
- Keep them indoors: Close windows, draw curtains, and create a quiet, escape-proof space.
- Use calming aids: Try white noise, calming treats, pheromone diffusers, or vet-prescribed meds if needed.
- Exercise early: Tire them out before dusk to reduce restlessness later.
- Update ID tags & microchips: Ensure your contact info is current in case they do get out.
