Keep Your Pet Mellow for the 4th
July 4th is here and while it’s a festive time for adults and kids to watch the beautiful explosives in the sky, animals can sometimes freak out.
Here in California, they’re calling on us to limit fireworks because of fire danger anyway, but there will no doubt be some explosives going on.
Pets, especially cats, should be kept inside. Both dogs and cats, though, could bolt if the noise freaks them out too much. Animals are creatures of habit and they’re particularly sensitive to things like loud noises. If you stay home, your dog or cat might want to hide. Or they may need more attention than usual. If you do take your dog with you to watch the fireworks, be sure to spend time comforting her.
Mainly, just try to be sensitive to animal nature at this time. Keep calm yourself and your animal friend will pick up the calming vibes.
