The art of keeping our pets safe varies throughout the year. While the Fourth of July is the quintessential summer holiday, it does pose quite a few risks to pet safety. Luckily, with a little bit of planning, you can ensure the holiday is fun and safe for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Importance of Identification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fireworks and thunderstorms c<\/a>an disorient pets so much that after they initially flee the area, they cannot return safely. A sudden loss or separation can be permanent with a non-microchipped pet, or one without a clear ID tag on the collar. We encourage all pet owners to microchip their pets, update the chip\u2019s contact information, and always keep their pet\u2019s collar and tag on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fireworks Safety for Pets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some pets have demonstrated a serious reaction to noise on previous occasions, but it\u2019s helpful to treat every Fourth of July like it\u2019s the first. In certain cases, even the most relaxed pets can feel fear during firework shows or thunderstorms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
