Firework Safety
This Independence Day, Please be courteous when setting off fireworks, which may be upsetting for dogs and Military Veterans. Loud, unexpected noises, such as fireworks can remind combat veterans with PTSD of gunfire or explosions they had experienced on the battlefield. Consider your neighbors by not setting them off too late at night or close to their homes, or better yet, go to an organized event!
1 in 5 dogs go missing after being scared by fireworks. More Dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year because the loud noises can scare even the bravest dog.
Keep your best friends at ease:
- Exercise during the day
- Stay home
- Make them feel safe
- Distraction
- Act Normal
- Name Tags
Have a Safe and Happy Independence Day!!
