Best Friend's Animal Society, a national animal welfare organization, has a few tips to keep your furry family members safe.
Make sure you bring your animals inside when fireworks start to go off. Put your pets in a secure room with comforting toys. You could also put on the television or play some music to help drown out the sound from outside
Consider a Thunder Shirt. It applies gentle pressure around a pet's torso and can help with anxiety and stress If you're going to give them medication, make sure it's prescribed by a veterinarian and pay attention to the dosage Do not play with things like sparklers around your pet. Not only could they get burned, but they are toxic if ingestedBefore the festivities even begin, it is advised to double-check that your pet is wearing a collar and an identification tag with your contact information in case they get out.
Best Friend's Animal Society says to make sure to have a plan in place in the event that your pet does get out. That plan should include using social media and checking local shelters.
