While 2020 has been a wild adventure for all of us, there is no doubt that people are eager to celebrate the world opening up with the 4th of July fireworks.
We all love a good celebration, devoted pet owners know that this is the time of the year to be most cautious for our beloved furry companions.
Loud booms from the firework can stress our pets out, and if you’re not careful, they could dart off at any moment.
According to ASPCA, more than 10 million pets run away/disappear each year in the United States, and it is during the 4th of July weekend where most disappearances happen.
With the 4th of July weekend coming around the corner, here are some tips that you can use to keep your pets safe and calm!
Keep your pets inside the house and make sure all windows and doors are closed, you don’t want your beloved animal to escape the house.
If you know where your pet’s favorite hiding place is, make sure it is cleared out and easily accessible.
If your pets are already hiding, let them be, don’t try to pull them out. It is also smart to shut all curtains, removing visual stimuli can help with calming your pets.
Studies have shown that animals can sense the Earth’s magnetic field and are instinctively sensitive to different energies in the world.

A great toy to keep your pets occupied for hours is the KONG toy, you can stuff wet dog food, peanut butter, chicken stock or water in the KONG toy and freeze it. Once frozen, your animal companions will have something to focus on for the next couple of hours.
