As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day next week with fireworks, barbecues, and fun, let's not forget about our furry friends! Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and comfortable during the festivities:
1. Keep Pets Indoors: Fireworks can be scary for pets. Keep them inside in a safe, quiet space.
2. Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy area with their favorite toys and blankets to help them feel secure.
3. ID Tags and Microchips: Ensure your pet has proper identification in case they get scared and run off.
4. Avoid Human Food: Many foods that are safe for humans can be harmful to pets. Stick to pet-safe treats.
5. Watch the Heat: Make sure your pets stay cool and hydrated, especially if they spend time outside during the day.
6. Fireworks and Pets Don’t Mix: Keep pets away from fireworks, sparklers, and glow sticks to prevent injuries and anxiety.
