WOW, we are in full swing of Summer and July 4th is almost here. July 4th is always a day of fun. Whether you are taking a trip or looking forward to the fireworks close to home, make sure your pet feels safe.  Enjoy a great a July 4 picnic with kids, fireworks, parades, ice cream and your pets!!!! But it's so important to have a safe 4th of July if you are with your dog. Sometimes  these outdoor activities can become frightening to our dog or any animal. The heat, loud noises, unfamiliar people and other stressors can cause stress to our dogs and cats. Every year during the 4th of July holiday, animal shelters experience an alarming upsurge in the number of "strays" found by animal control. These dogs have come to be known as "July 4th dogs". Be sure your pet has on the proper identification. Take sensible precautions ...The biggest mistake pet lovers need to avoid is comforting their pet, although done with good intentions, petting and coddling can actually reinforce fear and panic. If you can, resist the urge to take your pet to a fireworks display, keep your pet indoors in a familiar area, leave a radio or TV on to keep him company....he will be happier and you will be too.
