Here are some tips to reduce their anxiety this Fourth of July:
• Make sure to give your pet some exercise during the day. If they are tired, chances are it will be easier for them to stay calm.
• Block some of the noise with soft music. Distract them with their favorite toys and treats, especially if they become nervous.
• Use a compression vest, such as the ThunderShirt®, for a drug-free way to reduce anxiety.
• Consult with your veterinarian regarding acepromazine, CBD oil, Rescue Remedy®, or calming pheromone sprays. Do not administer any medicine in the absence of a vet consultation.
