4th of July – How To Keep Your Pets Safe During Fireworks

The 4th of July holiday brings a massive spike in lost pets across the country.

Loud fireworks trigger dogs and cats to panic and bolt from their yards.

Experts urge owners to leave their animals safely indoors and create a secure hiding spot.

Turning on the television or a white noise machine helps mask the terrifying sounds of neighborhood celebrations.

Owners should update microchips and ensure pets wear collars with current ID tags.
