The Fourth of July, and the days leading up to the Fourth, can be a dangerous and frightening time for pets. In addition to the risks of injuries and burns, many pets are fearful of the excitement and noise created by fireworks. They may act irrationally of fearful and panic, going to great lengths to escape their normal enclosures, jump fences or chew through their leashes. When in distress pets can run incredibly long distances, may lose their sense of direction and end up far from home.
More lost pets end up in animal shelters around the Fourth of July than any other time of the year. Pet owners need to be careful and thoughtful with their pets during this time, and make sure their animals are kept safe, wearing secure collars with current license and identification tags and – in the unfortunate event that they do escape and get lost – are micro-chipped.
Safety Tips
If you lose your pet, you will have to be proactive and vigilant to recover them. Animals in distress can travel long distances, and frightened animals may elude capture by a Good Samaritan or animal control professionals for days.
