🐾 🇺🇸 Enjoy our nation’s 250th! Take 5 minutes to prepare so your dog has a good weekend, also! 🇺🇸 🐾

Plan your quiet spot now!

July 4 is coming up, and for many pets, fireworks are not just loud. They can be stressful.

If your pet has a history of noise sensitivity, now is a good time to talk with your veterinarian. Appointment availability may be limited closer to the holiday, and medications can take time to fill.

A few simple steps at home may help reduce stress:

• Set up a quiet, safe space, such as a comfortable room, crate, or basement
• Use white noise, TV, or music to help muffle fireworks
• Try a snug-fitting garment, such as an anxiety wrap, if your pet tolerates it
• Keep pets securely indoors
• Check that ID tags and microchip information are up to date

Your veterinarian can help determine what is appropriate for your pet’s health and behavior history.
