CELEBRATE SAFELY
 If you enjoy fireworks attend a professional fireworks display. Fireworks can cause serious burns and eye injuries and the best way to protect your family is to not use any fireworks at home. Firecrackers, rockets, and sparklers are just too dangerous.

PETS & FIREWORKS SAFETY
 Animal shelters around the nation report a dramatic increase in lost pets during the holiday because so many pets are frightened and try to escape the sights and sounds of fireworks.Help your pets keep their cool by following these 4 easy steps: 1. Keep your pets safely away from fireworks. Pets are more sensitive to loud noises, flashing lights and strong smells so, on the Fourth of July, it's best to leave your pets safely indoors, preferably with a radio or TV turned on to hide jarring noises.
2. If your pets are scared by fireworks, ask a veterinarian for help. There are medications and techniques that might help alleviate your pets' fear and anxiety.
3. Protect your pets from heat stroke during summer festivities. Never leave your pets in a parked car and make sure they have plenty of water to drink.
4. Safeguard your pets with a collar and I.D. tag. All pets, even those kept indoors full-time, should always wear collars with ID tags. |
