Like many Americans, your family is probably planning a Fourth of July celebration this weekend. As you’re gearing up for a fun weekend of camping, barbecues and fireworks, keep your canine and feline companions in mind. Fourth of July safety for dogs and cats needs to be a top concern for pet owners whether they go out or stay home to celebrate the holiday.
According to the American Humane Society, July 5th is the busiest day of the year for animal shelters in the United States. This is because so many frightened companion animals flee the night before in response to the loud booms of fireworks near their home.
Don’t let your pet become a statistic.
