Pet Fireworks Safety Tips

fireworkspetsafety_feat

Let’s make sure we extra precautions and properly care for our four-legged friends during this holiday weekend’s fireworks.

Officials say the holiday weekend is when more pets get lost than any other day of the year.

Don’t leave your pets outside not confined to a secure fence. Leaving your pet outside during fireworks definitely increases the chances of your pet getting lost. If you have a pet who has never tried to escape in the past but during fireworks just out of fear they are going to try to run away to get away from that noise.

Keep your pets in a safe place inside your home away from the noise. This isn’t an option with horses and livestock. If possible ensure the corral is secure and has no weak spots.
