A Furry, Fun Fourth

The 4th of July is a time of celebrating our independence from the British back in the 1700s. Everyone has so much fun of making a production of shooting off fireworks to show their joy! These light shows may be fun to us, but not to our pets.

More dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year! Why? They can’t handle the blast of the fireworks. They get stressed and scared and run away. Please make sure your pet is wearing a collar and identification tag just in case you aren’t able to find them after the noise stops.

Also, NEVER leave your pet in a hot car. Cars can reach up to 116 degrees in just a matter of minutes. Would you want to be in this type of heat? Your pet doesn’t want to either!

Please be respectful to the sensitive ears of your pet by keeping them inside and away from windows while fireworks are going off. Don’t let your fun make your pet run!
