And remember to keep your 4 legged family members safe.
Create a Safe Haven: Keep your pets indoors in a quiet, comfortable room, ideally with white noise or music to help mask the sound of fireworks.
Update Identification: Ensure your pet is wearing a collar with up-to-date identification tags and that their microchip information is current in case they get startled and escape.
Exercise Early: Take your dogs for a walk or exercise earlier in the day before the fireworks and evening celebrations begin.
Keep Them Indoors: Avoid taking pets to outdoor events where fireworks or loud crowds are present, as the noise and activity can cause significant anxiety.
