Keeping Your Pets Safe During The July 4th Celebrations

 

Did you know more pets get lost on July 4th than any other day of the year? Dogs (and cats) are frightened by fireworks, explosions and loud noises and try to run away to safety. Many then can't seem to find their way home. So keep it a "pet-friendly" holiday and just in case one of your four-legged family members does run away, make sure they all have easy to spot identification on them. 

 

Check out these two great infographics from Petfinder.com with great (and easy) tips on keeping your dogs and cats safe during the July 4th celebrations in the coming days. Your fur-babies will appreciate your taking a little bit of extra time to make sure they are safe and secure and away from as much noise as possible. And how happy will you be not to lose any loved pets?

Gita Bantwal hi Gita... I figure if just one pet doesn't get lost I've accomplished something good with this post.

Nina I don't have pets so I don't think about these things.  But for those who do have pets they would be wise to follow your suggestions.

I do worry quite a bit about the pets health and I also worry about what they can do to the inside of a house while scared out of their minds Nina. Unfortunately I have seen the aftermath a couple of times.

My trio of cats are tremendously frightened of fireworks; it ruins their entire night, and much of the time they hover under the bed trembling. I think I'm giving them all xanax this year. I have a vet prescription for it. Shouldn't have to drug my cats in a residential neighborhood due to crazy a-holes.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, good morning, Paul... we've been lucky with our dogs and cats in that they don't want to go outside with the noise, but they don't get totally crazed from it.

George Souto good morning, George... you have no reason to think about these issues if  you have no pets... my problem is with people who don't think about them and do have pets.

Nina, the fireworks have never bothered my kitties, but the hail last week sent them both under the bed!

Joan Cox good morning, Joan... I can see that... noise from any kind of storm tends to rile up both cats and dogs.

If more people listened to their pets and watched their behavior, I think we'd all live in a safer environment!

Patricia Feager no doubt, Patricia. And at the end of the day, so much of it is common sense which seems to have taken a vacation in many households.
