🎆 Firework Season Is Upon Us! 🎆
Please take time to plan ahead to keep your pets safe and comfortable during this noisy season. Fireworks can be terrifying for animals, and the sudden loud noises often cause them to panic and run.
Here are some basic reminders to help protect your pets:
🐾 Keep Pets Indoors:
Make sure your pets are inside before fireworks begin. Even outdoor pets should be brought in to prevent them from escaping out of fear.
🔒 Secure Your Home & Yard:
Double-check that doors, windows, and gates are securely closed. Scared pets may bolt, even through small openings.
📸 Update ID Tags & Microchips:
Ensure your pet’s ID tag has current contact info and that their microchip details are up to date. This is critical if they get out.
🎵 Drown Out the Noise:
Play calming music, white noise, or keep the TV on to help muffle the sounds of fireworks.
🛏️ Create a Safe Space:
Give your pet a quiet, comfy area with blankets or their favorite toys. A covered crate can help some animals feel more secure.
💊 Talk to Your Vet if Needed:
If your pet has extreme anxiety, speak to your vet in advance about calming aids or medications. Now is the time to call your Vet - do not wait until the day you need them!
🐕🦺 Don’t Leave Pets Alone Outdoors:
Even a fenced yard isn’t safe during fireworks. Frightened pets have been known to jump fences or dig out.
