FIREWORK PET SAFETY!!
As we get closer to celebrating the 4th of July, let’s remember firework season can be a very stressful time for our pets due to the loud booming noises and bright exploding lights.

Here are a few essential tips to keep our furry companions calm and safe.
🎆 have their favorite toy and treats at hand to keep them occupied and provide a distraction or positive reinforcement.
🎆 Create a safe place of comfort they can retreat to, such as a quiet cozy corner equip with blankets and toys. If outdoors, ensure they are contained safely to prevent them from running away. (If possible bring them indoors)
🎆 Ensure all tags/identification on collars are current in the case of an escape.
🎆 If your pet is exceptionally anxious or sensitive to fireworks, make an appt with your Veterinarian as they will be able to recommend calming supplements or medications

🎇Please share any helpful tips/tricks you use to help your pet cope below in the comments.

I know everyone remembers Abby that we posted about last month. We have an update on her deployment.

She was returning from Tel Aviv and suffered wounds at a stopover in Beirut. She was treated aboard the aircraft and flown directly to Barksdale.

Her “brother” Batman has now been reactivated for service in Syria and should be home before Christmas.

Please keep all the service men and women and dogs in your continued prayers!🇺🇸
