It's that time of year again, backyard BBQ's, picnics and fireworks!
The fourth can be a frightening time for pets. The loud fireworks shows can result in many animals running away and then later becoming disoriented and lost.
"The 4th of July is a wonderful time of celebration for families and friends, but can also be a dangerous time for pets. People with animals need to be aware their pet may become frightened of fireworks and run away and become lost. Every year on the 5th of July and days following many lost animals are brought into the local shelters.
It is recommended keeping cats or dogs indoors and away from open or screened windows. They also say turning on the TV, radio or other familiar noises can provide comfort to pets during the fireworks show. Try turning the volume up so they don't hear the boom from the fireworks!
Make sure to have proper ID information on pet's collars or to microchip their pets.
