More dogs are lost on July 4th than any other day of the year
We humans might love the Red, White & Boom of July 4th fireworks. But your pets ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LOVE FIREWORKS! Dogs and cats are frightened by fireworks, explosions and loud noises. Their first instinct is to run away to safety. Sadly, many of the dogs and cats that escape then can’t seem to find their way home and are lost forever. Did you know that July 5th is the day when most pets are reported missing? That’s because more pets go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year.
So keep tomorrow, July 4th, a “pet-friendly” holiday. And just in case one of your four-legged family member(s) does run away, make sure they have easy-to-spot identification on them. Follow the fireworks safety tips in the infographics from PetFinder below and you’re sure to have a paw-some holiday enjoying the red, white, and boom while keeping your fur-babies stress-free.
