🎆🐾 Keep Your Pets Safe This 4th of July! 🐾🎆
As we gear up for a fun-filled Independence Day on Thursday, let's not forget about our furry friends who might not enjoy the fireworks as much as we do. Here are some tips to ensure your pets have a safe and calm holiday:
1. Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, comfortable area inside your home where your pet can retreat from the noise.
2. Share a Hug: Sometimes if frightened, pets like to be held using constant gentle pressure. This offers the same effect as a warm hug (or a weighted blanket for humans).
3. Keep Them Indoors: Fireworks can be loud and frightening. Keeping your pets inside helps protect them from running away out of fear.
4. Update IDs and Microchips: Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are up-to-date, just in case they manage to escape.
5. Avoid Human Food: While you enjoy your holiday feast, remember that many human foods can be harmful to pets. Stick to pet-safe treats! Some of our favorites can be found at Contigo Dogs, Mi Pets Treat Truck and Aggie Treats!
6. Provide Distractions: Engage your pets with toys or calming music to help drown out the noise of fireworks. White noise machines may also help to keep your pet calm.
Let's make this 4th of July a fun and safe celebration for everyone, including our pets! 🎇✨
