The Fourth of July can be a stressful time for many pets between the fireworks, loud noises, visitors, travel, and changes in routine. This can be overwhelming, especially for pets who already struggle with anxiety during storms or celebrations.
If your pet may need medication or support before the holiday, now is the time to schedule an appointment. Planning ahead gives your veterinarian time to evaluate your pet, discuss safe options, and make sure you have what you need before the fireworks begin.
A few pet safety tips to keep in mind:
• Keep pets indoors during fireworks
• Make sure collars and ID tags are secure and up to date
• Create a quiet, comfortable space away from windows and loud noise
• Do not bring pets to fireworks displays
• Keep doors, gates, and windows secured when guests are coming and going
• Watch for dropped food, alcohol, sparklers, glow sticks, and other holiday hazards
• Take dogs out for potty breaks before fireworks begin
• Never give human medication to your pet unless directed by your veterinarian
