Safety tips for your pet this 4th of July

Pet owners know their furry friends can be easily spooked by Fourth of July fireworks. Keep your pet safe with these tips:

• Leave your pet at home and indoors where they can’t run away when you go to a noisy party.

• Give your pet a “safe spot,” such as their kennel or a closet, where they can go to hide from the fireworks.

• In the event that your pet does escape, make sure that they are wearing identification tags.

• Lit fireworks can cause severe burns, and unlit fireworks contain potentially toxic substances if ingested. Keep both away from curious pets.
