Fourth of July Pet safety

As you and your family celebrate Fourth of July festivities, remember a few things to ensure that your Pet stays healthy and safe. Banfield recommends that you keep your Pets inside, since many Pets are very frightened by the sight and sound of fireworks and may dig or jump fences in order to escape the noise. You may want to close the curtains and turn on the TV or radio in order to provide some distraction. A quiet safe place, such as a carrier, may provide your Pet with a sense of security and comfort.

Here are some additional tips:
  • If you are concerned that your Pet may be overly anxious or frightened by fireworks, contact your veterinarian immediately to discuss whether medications may be appropriate.
     
  • Keep Pets away from matches, open flames and fireworks—especially ones that must be lit on the ground. Pets may try to sniff or chase fireworks, resulting in burns, especially around the face.
     
  • Make sure your Pet is wearing a collar and that the identification tag is current and legible. Proper identification tags will help local authorities, fellow neighbors and good samaritans contact you if they recover your Pet.
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday with your family. Banfield reminds you to pay close attention to the individual needs of your Pet during the holiday.
