Fourth of July - Independence Day - it’s a day of celebration, BBQs, family, friends and, of course … F I R E W O R K S!
As we gear up for 4th of July festivities, let’s not forget about our precious pets who may not understand what all the hoopla is about. It's not like we can ask them about how they really feel. As far as pets are concerned, the festive explosions, bright flashes in the sky, and the thick, smokey air may just be one big terrifying nightmare (i.e. the A-PAW-CALYPSE!!!). In fact, there is an influx of LOST/RUNAWAY pets who scare themselves silly during these celebrations and end up on the streets or at the shelters! So we urge you, as pet owners, to take precautions to keep your pet secure. As much as you love having your pet around you during every special occasion ever made, you may have to show some tough love for his/her own safety! SAFETY TIPS
The best way for your pet to enjoy Fourth of July is by NOT joining in the festivities. Yep, they may have to sit this one out for their own good. Push that guilt aside because while you are enjoying the colorful lights and loud bangs, your pet/s will be safe and sound (albeit may or may not be suffering a panic attack) in the comforts of your home... and not lost in a dark alley somewhere. FOUND A LOST/RUNAWAY PET? Check for ID tags or get it scanned for a microchip. MHC can help scan pets for microchips at our Adoption Center inside Midland's PetSmart. HOWEVER, our Adoption Center WILL NOT be able to provide shelter to lost pets. Check out some helpful tips on what to do with Lost & Found Pets here. |
