Fireworks Safety

​​

Fireworks can be dangerous for our furry family members.
Noisy fireworks can frighten and scary them. 
They also get startled easy, with each bang, which can cause them to run away, jump fences or run through invisible fences.
Let's make sure your pet, both cats and dogs alike. the good up to date identification tags and/or Microchips.  Microchips are great the give you one of the best chances of getting your pet back.  However, you have to have a microchip reader or take the pet to an animal clinic or hospital or shelter.  You might have a neighbor just a few blocks away and finds you lost pet, they would be happy to get your pet back to you same night, but without a phone number on a collar.  Their only choice is to wait they can get the microchip read.  At best tomorrow.

It's always a good idea to have a current photo of all of your cats and dogs.

Although most of our pet love to "GO"! Leave your pets at home when you go to celebration parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there's great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away.​
Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during fireworks celebrations.
