4th of July Tips + Tricks

While the 4th of July can be a fun holiday for humans, our pets can often experience a lot of anxiety and stress surrounding the loud noises, fireworks, and endless fun happening throughout the day. Because of this, shelters across the US show record-breaking numbers of pets that are rescued and displaced on the 4th and 5th of July specifically. This year, we want to help you be a proactive pet parent and share our top tips and tricks to keeping your dog calm, safe, and at ease this Independence Day!

  • Create a Safe Space: our pets like to feel at home. This year, create a space your dog feels most at home in. From the laundry room, their kennel, or the bathroom, making sure your pet stays in a contained space is crucial to making sure that if spooked, they don’t run away from home or try to escape. Our Pet Gazebo is a great option and offers your pet a contained area with room to roam.

 

  • Prepare a Boredom Buster: keeping your dog busy while you are out is a great way to distract them from fireworks and loud noises they might hear. Whether you use a puzzle toy, or prep a DIY one at home, engaging your dog’s brain is a great trick to fighting off stress and anxiety!

 

  • Tire Them Out: leading up to the evening of the 4th of July, take your dog out for a long walk, run, or hike! This way, by the time the party ends and the fireworks start, they are tuckered out and missing the loudness.
