🌟🐾 4th of July Pet Safety Tips 🐾🌟

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a great start to the week! As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, let's make sure our furry friends stay safe and comfortable during the festivities. Here are some essential tips to keep your pets happy and healthy this 4th of July:

🎆 Keep Pets Indoors: Fireworks can be incredibly stressful for pets. Keep them inside where it’s quieter and more secure.

🐶 Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy, quiet area with their favorite toys, blankets, and treats. Consider playing calming music to drown out the noise.

🆔 Ensure Identification: Make sure your pets are wearing up-to-date ID tags and that their microchip information is current. This can be crucial if they get scared and run off.

🥩 Avoid Table Scraps: BBQs are fun, but many human foods can be harmful to pets. Keep them away from chocolate, alcohol, bones, corn cobs and other dangerous foods. (See our previous post about BBQ safety)

🔥 Beware of BBQs and Fireworks: Keep pets away from grills, fireworks, and sparklers to prevent burns or ingestion of toxic substances.

🚶 Exercise Early: Give your pets a good workout earlier in the day. A tired pet is more likely to rest and stay calm during the fireworks.

👀 Stay Vigilant: Keep an eye on your pets for any signs of distress. If they seem unusually anxious, consult with your vet for ideas and to discuss medication to help if your pet suffers from extreme anxiety!

⏳**If you think your pet(s) might be in need of medication, make sure to call us early so we can have a good plan and get it ready in time for you!**⌛️

Let's ensure a safe and happy 4th of July for everyone, including our beloved pets! 🐱🐶💖

**Keep Your Dogs Safe During BBQ Season! 🍔🌭🐶**

Happy First Day of Summer everyone! As BBQ season heats up, it's important to remember our furry friends and keep them safe. Here are some essential tips to ensure your dog enjoys the festivities without any risks:

1. **Keep Food Out of Reach**: 🧅🧄🍇
Foods like onions, garlic, chocolate, and anything spicy or fatty can be harmful to dogs. Also, avoid raisins, grapes, and products with artificial sweeteners as those are poisonous to our pet(s).
Securely store food to prevent curious noses from getting into trouble, especially corn cobs🌽 as those can become lodged resulting in emergency surgery!

2. **No Bones About It**: 🍗🍖🦴
Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious internal injuries. Stick to dog-friendly treats instead.

3. **Avoid Alcohol**: 🍻🍷🍾
Even small amounts of alcohol can be toxic to dogs. Ensure drinks are placed out of reach and guests are aware not to share.

4. **Safe Grilling Area**: 🌭🍔
Keep your dog away from the grill. Hot surfaces and charcoal can cause burns or be ingested, leading to choking or internal damage.

5. **Trash Control**:
Dispose of leftovers and trash in a secure bin. Dogs are notorious for dumpster diving, and ingesting something harmful (like a corn cob) can lead to an emergency vet visit.

6. **Watch the Decorations**: 🎉
Strings, balloons, and other festive items can be choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if swallowed.

7. **Hydration is Essential**: 💧💧💧
Ensure your dog has access to fresh water at all times, especially on hot days. (see our previous post on heatstroke)

8. **Provide a Safe Space**: 🏠
With all the excitement, some dogs might get overwhelmed. Create a quiet, safe space where they can retreat if they need a break from the crowd.

9. **Supervision is Key**: 👀
Always keep an eye on your dog during the BBQ to ensure they stay out of harm's way and don't sn**ch any forbidden snacks.

Wishing a fun and safe BBQ season for everyone, including your four-legged family members! 🐾
