How Can I Keep My Pets Safe And Less Stressed Through The Fourth Of July Holiday?
1) Designate a “safe space” in the home for your pets to retreat during the festivities.
2) Play calm music at a low volume to block out some of the outside noise.
3) Distract your pets with play time and treats if they are pacing or displaying nervous behavior.
4) Make sure your pet has current ID tags with up-to-date contact information.
A Happy PET is a HAPPY HOLIDAY!
