\"Dog<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Nothing says summer like family barbecues, apple pie and 4th<\/sup> of July celebrations. But while you\u2019re marveling at how well the music and fireworks are synchronized, your dog may be experiencing levels of anxiety<\/a> that could significantly impact his mental and physical health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Strange, loud noises, like the sound of fireworks are scary for pets. And while we can\u2019t completely shield our pets from every loud sound, there are steps we can take to protect dogs during fireworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peruse these tips from the pet lovers<\/a> at Bayside Animal Hospital<\/a> to help keep your dog calm and safe during 4th<\/sup> of July fireworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microchip Your Pet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the American Kennel Club, more pets run away on July 4 and 5<\/a> than any other day of the year. A dog afraid of fireworks may panic and break free from his leash. If your pet must travel with you, a microchip provides your best chance of being reunited with your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave Your Dog at Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Strange surroundings with loud noises and flashing lights are no place for a pet, so leave your dog at home when you head to an Independence Day<\/a> festival or celebration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Safe Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isolate your dog in a bedroom or other familiar space with his blanket and some favorite toys. Tune a radio to soothing music or use a white noise machine to mask the sounds of firecrackers or fireworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provide Companionship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can, join your dog in his \u201csafe room\u201d to keep him comfortable, or ask a trusted friend or family member to stay with him during fireworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk Him Before Dark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you and your dog normally enjoy a long walk<\/a> after dark, head out early so you won\u2019t be outside when the fireworks in your community begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk to Your Veterinarian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since so many communities have their own fireworks displays, it can be hard to avoid the noise altogether. If you fear your dog\u2019s reaction to fireworks will be severe, schedule an appointment<\/a> to talk with us about medications that could help keep your dog calm. We\u2019re also happy to discuss the use of thundershirts and over-the-counter calming remedies that could provide some relief for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want both you and your dog to enjoy safe, stress-free summer celebrations. Please contact us (916) 791-8387<\/a> to request an appointment or if you\u2019d like more insights on keeping your dog calm during fireworks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
