🐾 Keep Your Pets Calm This 4th of July 🎆

As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, BBQs, and festivities, I wanted to take a moment to think about the other members of our households—our pets.

Fireworks can be a major source of stress for dogs and cats. Here are a few quick tips to help keep them calm and safe this 4th of July:

Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, cozy area inside your home with their favorite blanket or toy to help them feel secure.

Turn on Calming Sounds: Soft music, white noise, or even the TV can help mask the loud booms outside.

Keep Them Indoors: Even pets that are normally fine outside may panic and try to run away when fireworks start.

Keep Them Occupied: Offer long-lasting treats or toys to keep their minds distracted.

Talk to Your Vet: If your pet has extreme anxiety, your vet may be able to recommend a calming aid.

Wishing you and your furry family members a happy and stress-free Fourth of July!
