Happy Fourth of July, Dognition friends!
Independence Day is a stressful holiday for dogs with fireworks often driving many dogs to run away. 51% of Dognition users said their dog experiences some level of fear or anxiety in response to fireworks. Here are 4 tips to help keep your dog calm and safe this holiday weekend!
- Keep Your Dogs Inside
Enjoy a day of grilling and outdoor fun with your dogs, but before the fireworks begin, secure your dogs indoors. Dogs can become easily frightened by the loud festivities of fireworks.
- Don’t Leave Your Dogs in the Car
Even if you crack the windows, cars get swelteringly hot in a short amount of time, and the risk is potentially fatal to your dog.
- Muffle the Bangs and the Booms
Close your windows and draw the shades. Turn on noise that soothes your dogs, like classical music , talk radio, or television.
- Have Your Dogs Wear ID
In case your dogs become lost, have your dogs wear an identification tag to aid in their return.
All of us at Dognition wish you a happy and safe 4th of July weekend. Let us know how you’re celebrating the 4th with your dogs! Leave us a comment on our Facebook page .
