Happy would like to remind you to Celebrate Safely this 4th of July
We would like to remind you to Celebrate Safely this 4th of July and to provide you with a list of suggestions concerning your furry friend. Make sure all fences and gates are secure. Keep your pet indoors if possible with curtains shut or windows covered. Secure your pet in a crate, if possible. Even walking them on a leash in their own yard during the fireworks can be lifesaving.
We make the following suggestions:
- Make sure all fences and gates are secure. Keep your pet indoors if possible with curtains shut or windows covered. Secure them in a crate if possible. Even walking them on a leash in their own yard during the fireworks can be lifesaving.
- Make sure your pet has its license or identification tag on their collar, including microchip information. Update all microchip and ID tag information if your contact information has changed. *Our Microchip Special of $20 on Wednesdays including registration runs all year in our Adoption Center.
- Check with your veterinarian about tranquilizers for your pet. Never use human medications.
- Turn on a radio or TV to help block out the sound of fireworks.
- Notify family or visitors if you have any animal/s that need to remain indoors so that they don’t accidentally let them out.
- Make sure to keep your pets away from BBQ’s, sparklers, fireworks and citronella candles.
- Do not take your pet with you to large celebrations.
- Do not place glow ropes or other festive party favors on your pets. Do not leave pets unattended in costumes or accessories.
- Keep your pet hydrated. Don’t forget to refill your pet’s bowl with water during your celebration.
- When your pet is missing, check in person at the CCSPCA.
