    Tips for Fourth of July
    Pets are easily frightened by loud and unexpected noises. Make sure they have collars with ID and/or a microchip in case they escape or run away. Make sure all fences and gates are secured. Pets should not be left outside during firework shows even if they don't seem to mind-accidents can happen and fireworks can land in the yard DO NOT take your pet to aa fireworks show even if they don't seem to mind. It can hurt their ears and it can prime them for noise phobias later in life. Dogs can try to bite or chase fireworks and get injured or burned or worse. Keep pets in the basement or a room without windows so they are less likely to feel or see the fireworks. Close any blinds or curtains/drapes on windows too. White noise like a fan, TV or classical music is helpful to mask noise from fireworks. They even make noise cancelling headphones for dogs. Stuff cotton in your pet's ears to muffle sounds, just be sure to remove it when the show is over. Some pets need medication (BEFORE they are scared) to manage their anxiety or PTSD from fireworks. Yawning, holding up a paw, wide eyes/whale eyes, hypervigilance and trying to run or escape are all signs of fear. Speak with your vet about medication options.
