Safety Tips for Dogs on the Fourth of July

July 1, 2011 by Mary Lou Davidson

Safety Tips for the Fourth of July

Happy 4th!

We all look forward to this weekend – kind of a mid-point of summer- when we can kick back and really celebrate. With the sporadic rain showers coming down over the last few days – your plans may have changed. Cheryl Brady of VetCare Express reminded us of these important tips when the fireworks and festivities start.

Provide a “safe place” for your dog. If they are already crate-trained, place them in their crates with some favorite chew toys and a blanket. Containing your dog in a familiar place will help them feel more secure.

If your party has to move inside to take cover, chances are the host and friends will be running back and forth to the barbecue grill. If you are at home with friends, make sure everyone knows to pull the doors shut and ensure that your dog stays inside. It’s easy for a guest to let someone with four legs accidentally slip out. If you haven’t checked your dogs ID tags lately, this is a great time to make sure that he’s wearing up-to-date tags. If you notice that your dog is overly sensitive to loud noises – check with your veterinarian – there may be a natural non-sedating remedy to help your dog through thunderstorms and the 4th of July.
