Independence Day
July 2nd THRU the 4th- Not so fun for our furry friends!!
**ALL WEEKEND LONG**NOT JUST ON JULY 4th!! Celebrations Start as Early as Friday July 2nd!!
• Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.
• Do not leave your pet in the car. With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects—even death—in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but they do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen.
• Keep your pets indoors at home in a sheltered, quiet area. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you've removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company while you're attending Fourth of July picnics, parades, and other celebrations.
-Crates
• If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.
-Over the counter as well as prescription
• Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn't leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.
• Make sure your pets are wearing CURRENT/UPDATED identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly. Animals found running at-large should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.
• If you plan to go away for the holiday weekend and take you pet, PLEASE make sure to be EXTRA careful. Your canine friend will not know where they are if they escape. Best to leave at home with a responsible dog sitter that understands the above rules or in a reputable boarding facility.
*this also applies for cats- keep cats inside!! All live animals should be moved inside if possible!!!
PLEASE HELP KEEP YOUR PET SAFE- PLEASE HELP OTHERS BY PASSING ON THIS INFORMATION.
CELEBRATE SAFE - FOR YOU AND YOUR FUR KID!!

on a personal note; i think people need to watch/ hear things go BOOM and WHISTLE in the upper loudness range are complete cavemen!
It is time to move on. Especially now that we know this noise pollution sounds and feels like a WAR ZONE to the highly sensitive ears of pets.
This is what they HEAR!
It is so bad at my house that the dogs are hiding and shaking all night. They also get so scared and confused they run away and never to be seen again!
PLEASE!, LET US MOVE ON!
THANKS
