FIREWORKS....
Like many Americans, you may be planning to have a festive Fourth of July. Along with pool parties and barbeques, no July holiday celebration would be complete without enjoying the fireworks that celebrate the birth of our nation. However, unlike people, pets don't associate the noise, flashes, and burning smell of pyrotechnics with celebrations and often panic at the loud whizzes and bangs they produce. More pet's go missing this time of year than any other as they frantically run in fear to escape the commotion and chaos that these festivities bring. Here are some helpful tips to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe this 4th of July. 1. Going to a parade or fireworks display? Keep your pet at home
