With the Fourth of July excitement building over the next couple of days, that means that fireworks will be part of the celebration. While they make a literally dazzling sight exploding in the skies, they can also be unnerving to pooches, felines and ponies. For all they know, North Texas may be under siege!
The annual Independence Day is notorious for pets for AWOL.
Plan ahead for your pet(s) and yourself with these tips:
- Check with your vet if they can help remedy the anxiety of the sights and sounds.
- Keep your pet(s) indoors until all the hoopla has calmed down.
- Make sure that your critter(s) is micro-chipped for two reasons — 1) If they do get loose, they’ll be easier to locate. 2) In Dallas and other towns, it’s the law.
