Keep Your Pet Safe on the Fourth of July
Fireworks can frighten your pets and that fear can cause a dog or cat to panic and try to escape from the yard or even the house.
Below are some tips to help keep your pet safe this Fourth of July:
-Don't bring your pet to the fireworks display, because all the loud noises and people could easily frighten your pet.
-Make sure that your pets are safe and secure before dusk because that is when the fireworks display is scheduled to begin.
-Keep them in a quiet and isolated room with covered windows, keep your pets indoors, help your pet feel safe and secure.
-Turn on a fan, radio or TV to muffle the sounds of the fireworks.
-While at home if your pet behaves nervously by pacing, whining or crying, distract your pet by playing with him or doing something he enjoys.
-Make sure your dog or cat is always wearing a fitting collar. You should be able to slip no more than two fingers beneath your pet's collar. Some owners may wish to add an ID tag with their current phone number and/or address.
-Also make sure your pet is wearing its current city license. If your pet becomes lost this is the only way to get your pet home. Another means of identification is a microchip; if your pet's collar is lost or stolen a microchip implant which is done by your veterinarian is another good way of getting your pet home safely.
Remember, we care about your pets, so the City of Casa Grande Animal Care & Adoption Center staff wishes you and your pets a safe and happy Fourth of July. If you have any questions, please call us at (520) 426-9300 and leave a message, we will return your call.
