America’s birthday is the biggest time of the year for lost pets. Here are a few things to remember this weekend.
1 – Keep your pets away from fireworks. Both dogs and cats are more sensitive to loud noises than we are, so fireworks going off near the house can be traumatizing for them.
2 – Make their space as comfortable as possible. Close the windows and put on some music (like WFMS) or the TV to mask the sounds of any fireworks.
3 – Make sure their collar is on. According to the American Humane Society, the days following the 4th of July are the busiest days of the year for animal shelters, thanks to scared pets running away from fireworks.
Have fun this holiday weekend, but keep your pets safe!
