Happy 4th to those in the πΊπΈπ!
Growing up, this day was always so fun, it was about eating food cooked outside and blowing things up (itβs an 80βs-90βs thing, no judging π).
Speaking of, if your dog might get stressed from the fireworks and fire crackers, you can:
- Turn up ambient sounds in the house. Such as soft a.m. radio, white noise, soft classical music. If youβve been getting them used to firework noises already, good on you π€π½.
- close the windows (flashes and lights) doors (sounds) and move them to the quietest room.
- give them a safe space, a crate if that is their go-to
- Ideally, keep them indoors
- Make sure their microchip and collar tag info is up to date, in case they do try and run from the noise.
- Use the medications prescribed from your vets for noise phobias, if you have them. And donβt forget to give them well before theyβre needed.
- If you can, stay with them through the loudest times.
Be well, stay safe, Happy 4th and letβs try and remember what is being celebrated so that it can continue to be.
