Pet Safety Tips for Fireworks Season

The Fourth of July is a time for celebration, but it can also be a stressful and dangerous time for pets. Loud fireworks and crowded events can cause anxiety and fear in animals, leading them to run away or become injured. Additionally, holiday foods and summer heat can pose health risks to pets. It's important to take steps to ensure your furry friends stay safe during and after the festivities, whether you're hosting your own celebration or simply enjoying the holiday with your pets at home.

As fireworks can be stressful for pets, it's important to take precautions to keep them safe. Ensure that your cats and dogs have identification tags with up-to-date information, and consider micro-chipping them if they aren't already. Additionally, take a current photo of all your pets in case they become lost. For horses, you may even consider writing your contact information on their hooves. If your pet has a history of anxiety during fireworks, consider behavioral therapy or supplements like Adaptil Pheromones, CBD Calm Supplements, Calm Probiotics, or Thunder Shirt. Consult with your veterinarian or behaviorist at Legend Acres to learn more. Make sure your environment is safe and secure, and evaluate your options to choose the safest area for your animals.
