#UsdanPetTips Fireworks can be stressful and scary for pets. 🎆🐾 Ahead of July 4th, take a few simple steps to help keep your pet safe, calm, and comfortable. Check that their ID tags and microchip info are up to date, prepare any calming aids they already use, create a quiet indoor space, and plan walks or outdoor time earlier in the day. Keep pets indoors once fireworks begin, secure doors and windows, and never bring your pet to a fireworks show. Even calm pets can become frightened by loud, unexpected noises. A little planning before the celebrations begin can make a big difference.
