Fireworks, picnics, and other Fourth of July traditions can be great fun for people, but all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals. More pets go missing over the 4th of July Holiday period than any other holiday. Here are some safety tips for your four-legged family members.
Make sure your pets – cats and dogs alike – have identification tags with up-to-date information.
Take a current photo of all of your cats, dogs and horses – just in case.
If your pets are microchipped, make sure your contact information in the microchip registry is up-to-date.
Make sure the environment is safe and secure. If your neighbors set off fireworks at an unexpected time, is your yard secure enough to keep your pet contained.
Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal, and kabob skewers away from curious pets.
Remember that too much sun and heat (and humidity!) can be dangerous to pets. Keep them inside when it’s extremely hot/humid; make sure they have access to shady spots and plenty of water when outdoors; don’t leave them outside for extended periods in hot weather and know the signs that a pet may be overheating. #petsafety #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay
