Happy Independence Day!

Fear of Fireworks

“American pet advocacy groups point out that the number of escapees is so high that Independence Day is the busiest day of the year in shelters — and that many pets get lost, injured, or killed. You should know which clinics or emergency hospitals will be open during fireworks season, in case you need one, as this will help you avoid time delays and stress.”

Read tips on protecting and calming your pet in Dr. Dr. Becky Lundgren, DVM’s article Fear of Fireworks.
