Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe This 4th of July Holiday
The following are some important tips to make the coming 4th of July
Holiday safe for you and your pets.
Keep pets inside. The best situation for your pet is to be at home with you.
If your holiday plans take you elsewhere, it is best to leave your pet inside
the house. Sometimes frightened animals will try to seek refuge from noise and
confusion by chewing through ropes, jumping fences or running away. Keeping them
indoors will assure that they won't get lost.
It's a good idea to leave a radio or TV set on to drown out the load firework
noises.
If you have an animal that is nervous or predisposed to stress, you
might want to consult with your veterinarian about having tranquilizers on hand
during the July 4th holiday. The vet will prescribe according to weight, age and
condition of the pet. It is important to consult a veterinarian because
tranquilizers can overdose or become toxic when combined with other medications,
flea collars or sprays.
Make sure your pets are wearing proper ID tags with at least two phone
numbers listed on them on the outside and a registered microchip on the inside.
Don't leave pets outside, even in a fenced yard, anytime when fireworks
are being set off in the neighborhood.
