As July 4th approaches it's important to keep in mind that many dogs (and some people) may find the loud noises and bright lights disturbing! If you have an anxious pet at home here are some tips to help alleviate their stress.
limit exposure as best you can, close the blinds and put on some soothing background noise for your pup
If they're crate trained, consider putting them away with a chewy or a frozen treat filled kong to help distract them
finally, try not to coddle your pets too much, it's very easy for them to interpret your attempts at comforting them as YOU being afraid which in turn generates more stress and anxiety for them
