When the fireworks boom for the Independence Day celebration, it’s a lot of fun for people, but not for your dogs. Managing editor Tami Roleff says keep your dogs safe during the Third and Fourth of July events…
While most people love the fireworks on the Fourth of July, the sounds of explosions may be very scary for our furry friends. To help keep your dog safe and calm, keep your dog inside during fireworks, with windows and curtains closed. Provide a safe place for your dog; many dogs like to be in small enclosed places, such as in their crate, inside a closet, or even in a bathtub. Make sure your dog is wearing a collar, with ID tags. Play music to drown out the sound of the fireworks. A Thundershirt helps some dogs remain calm; if you don’t have a Thundershirt, substitute a T-shirt that fits snugly around your dog’s chest and abdomen. It may also help if you tire your dog out with lots of exercise earlier in the day.
