July 4th: Precautions for pets
How to keep your pets happy and safe over the holiday.

-
Find a quiet zone: If you know there will be loud fireworks in your neighborhood, keep your pets indoors and find a quiet, sheltered area for them to rest. According to the Humane Society, some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you've removed any items that your pet could potentially destroy.
-
Offer up some company: If you're headed out for the festivities, leave a TV or radio playing at normal volume to keep your pet company while you're gone.
-
Don't leave Fido in the car: Pet can suffer serious health effects — even death — if left alone in a hot car. Leave your pet at home if possible.
-
Or on a chain: In their fear, pets who normally wouldn't leave the yard may escape and become lost or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.
-
Talk to your vet: If you know that your pet is distressed by loud noises, talk to your vet about ways to help alleviate fear caused by fireworks.
