Fourth of July pet safety reminder
As Independence Day approaches, many pets experience increased stress and anxiety due to fireworks, large gatherings, and changes in routine. We want to help keep your furry family members safe and comfortable during the holiday. Prepare ahead of time. If your pet has a history of anxiety during fireworks, now is the time to plan.
Veterinary clinics often experience a surge in medication requests before the holiday. Contact your regular veterinarian well in advance to discuss your pet's needs and refill any prescribed anxiety medications before the Fourth of July. Waiting until the last minute may result in delays due to high demand or limited office hours.
Tips for a safer holiday
* Ensure your pet's ID tags and microchip information are current.
* Keep pets indoors before fireworks begin. *
* Create a quiet, secure space with familiar bedding and favorite toys.
* Close windows, blinds, and curtains to reduce flashes of light and noise.
*Play calming music or white noise to help mask outdoor sounds.
* Exercise your pet earlier in the day to help reduce excess energy
These simple steps can make a big difference in your pet's comfort.
