Fourth of July Advisory: Pets and Fireworks Don't Mix


WASHINGTON, June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Independence Day may be fun for us, but for pets it can be frightening and even dangerous.  July 5th is the busiest day of the year at animal shelters as companion animals that fled in fright the night before are found miles from their homes, disoriented and exhausted. Anxious families often find themselves searching the streets and shelters looking for a treasured family member whose fear drove him to jump a high fence or break her leash or chain.

Independence Day may be fun for us, but for pets it can be frightening and even dangerous.

If your pet is upset by thunder, a door slamming or other loud noises, Fourth of July fireworks will be utterly terrifying, so take these precautions:

"With a little care and preparation, the Fourth of July can be fun for people and safe for pets," says American Humane President and CEO Robin Ganzert, Ph.D. "Let's keep our best friends quiet and calm so we can continue to enjoy them come July 5."
