🎆 4th of July Pet Tip #1: Call your vet EARLY.

If your dog needs medication to help them through fireworks anxiety, now is the time to check your supply and call in any refill requests.

Veterinary offices often get overwhelmed right before the holiday because so many people wait until the last minute. Refills, appointments, and medication plans may take time, so please don’t wait until your dog is already panicking.

Important reminder: please do not give your pet human medications, leftover prescriptions, or medication that was prescribed for another animal without talking to your veterinarian first.

What helped one pet in the past may be unsafe for another, may interact with other medications, or may be the wrong dose for your pet’s size, age, or health needs.

A little planning now can make a scary night much safer later. 💙

Don’t wait until July 3rd to prepare!

America is getting ready to celebrate her 250th birthday, and while many of us are looking forward to the cookouts, fireworks, and festivities, our pets may not be nearly as excited.

Fireworks can be terrifying for animals with sensitive ears. The loud booms, bright flashes, crowds, open doors, and holiday chaos can cause even normally calm pets to panic, hide, or bolt.

Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite 4th of July pet safety tips to help you prepare before the celebrations begin.

Because the best time to make a plan is before your pet is scared.

Follow along, save these reminders, and share them with a pet parent who may need them. 💙

Don’t wait until July 3rd to prepare!

🌾🐾 We’re headed to the Ag & Arts Tour! 🐾🌾

Hickman Humane Society will be at the Ag & Arts Tour on June 19th & 20th from 10 AM–5 PM each day! 🎨🚜🌻

We’ll have a table set up with information about our rescue, adoptable animals, ways to get involved, and how you can support the pets currently in our care. 🐶🐱💛

Because of the summer heat, adoptable pets will be attending in phases, so be sure to stop by throughout the weekend to say hello and meet some of the sweet faces looking for their next chapter. 🐕🐈✨

Spend the weekend exploring Hickman County, supporting local farms, artists, makers, food vendors, and small businesses — all while connecting with the community. 🍕🎶🛍️🌿

Make us one of your stops during the tour — we’d love to see you there! 🐾❤️
