The Fourth of July can be a scary time for pets so pet owners may want to take extra precautions with furry friends.
Many dogs and cats become anxious or fearful around loud and unpredictable noises such as Independence Day fireworks.
Pet experts suggest that pets have access to a familiar environment to feel more secure. Pet owners can consider turning on a fan, the television, or the radio to help prevent pets from being startled. Lit fireworks can be dangerous while unlit fireworks can be toxic to pets so pets should be kept away from both.
A veterinarian can prescribe medication to help with pet anxiety due to loud noises. Some pets may get so stressed by the load noise of fireworks that they could run away so make sure pets have the most recently updated identification with them.
