With the 4th of July around the corner make sure your pets have identification tags with up-to-date information.
Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets.
If your pets aren’t already micro-chipped, talk with your veterinarian about micro-chipping. This simple procedure can greatly improve your chances of getting your pets back if they become lost.
If your pet has a history of becoming anxious on this holiday, some pets may need medication. Consult your veterinarian.
If your neighbors set off fireworks at an unexpected time. Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during parties and fireworks.
Keep your pets inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks.
Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal and kabob skewers away from curious pets.
Remember that too much sun and heat can be dangerous to pets. Keep them inside when it’s extremely hot or humid make sure they have access to shady spots and plenty of water when outdoors.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!!!!
