Independence Day is a special day for any American, and it's when we spend time being thankful for our freedom and to celebrate the continued fight for this liberty. There are perhaps few days in the year when we are prouder to be a part of such a dedicated community of patriots.
Every year, families host a variety of celebrations in their backyards, which include various kinds of games, barbecues, and all-around fun times with friends. But every celebration is inevitably completed with a fireworks show. Many hosts and guests alike often forget that not everyone likes fireworks: pets in attendance do not react lightly to all the noise.
If not properly secured, pets might be tempted to run away from home to escape it, if they are not already hiding under the bed. But luckily, it's not too late for pet owners to take some precautions in time for the Fourth of July. The first step is to go see your vet! There are a variety of ways to keep your dog or cat calm during a fireworks show, which include over-the-counter treatments, prescriptions, and even products you can find at your local pet store.
