Preparing for July 4th.

6/24/2022

 
Picture
The Fourth of July is coming and sometimes it can be a tough time for our pets. Some dogs and cats can be frightened by noisy fireworks and celebrations and can be even dangerous for them. Also, some holiday foods can be unhealthy plus the heat and travel can be potentially dangerous as well. It is important to take some precautions to keep all our pets safe before, during and even after the festivities. 
Before:
  • Make sure your pets wear their identification tags with their up-to-date information.
  • If your pets aren’t microchipped, we recommend talking to your veterinarian. This simple procedure will improve your chances of getting your pet back if he or she becomes lost. If your pet already has a microchip, make sure the contact information in the microchip registry is up-to-date. 
  • ​​Some pets might need medication to reduce anxiety and potentially harmful reactions for fireworks or loud noises. If you think your pet might need a supplement or an antianxiety medication you can contact us through our website or give us a call at 339-234-6007 for more information.

During: 
  • Leave your pets at home. Taking your dog to an unfamiliar place might cause stress and anxiety. There’s great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away with loud noises. 
  • If you’re hosting guests, ask them to help keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don’t escape.​
  • ​Too much sun or heat can be very dangerous for your pet. Make sure they have access to shadows and plenty of water.
After: 

  • Check both your yard and home for food scraps or other debris that might be dangerous to pets.
