More pets disappear during this week-end then any other time of the year! People may love the visual and audio celebration of fireworks but cats and dogs have no idea what is going on and instinctively run and hide from loud noise and vibrant lights in the sky. If you think your dog is going to enjoy a BBQ sausage and a twilight display…think again! The best thing you can do for your pets on the eve of July 1 or July 4th is ensure they are safely secured in an area they are familiar and happy with, all windows and doors securely locked. If you are home with your dog and his anxiety increases try shutting the curtains, turning up the music and act calm as if nothing is happening. If the condition increases try a Thundershirt. www.thundershirt.com
