Final 4th tips for pets


This picture show the way Kate will not be Friday night if there are fireworks within her hearing distance.

As a final reminder that fireworks and pets do not mix, here are some tips on Fourth of July safety for your companion animals.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

From the Los Angeles Daily News.

To sum up, don't take your pet with you to a fireworks display. Make sure pets are securely inside during fireworks, perhaps in a safe room with a radio or television playing to mask any outside sounds.

Just in case they do escape, make sure they have proper identification on them and you have a recent picture.

And if they have an accident because of the noise and bright lights, give them a break and don't scold them. They were scared.
