Happy Fourth of July!Celebrate Independence.
Just don't let your dog be independent, at least not this weekend. Statistically more pets go missing during July 4th & January 1st more than any other time of year. The reason? Fireworks!
A fear of fireworks is a fairly common phobia in pets. They often find the loud, unpredictable noise and bright display of light truly frightening. Even a seemingly confident dog can tremble and whine at the unfamiliar sounds. If you have a new pet in your household and are unsure how they will react, compare their behavior during thunderstorms. It is better to err on the safe side and assume your pet will react negatively to the fireworks until proven otherwise. Regardless, the good news is there are a few things you can do to help your pet get through the festivities.
