How do you plan on celebrating the Fourth of July? Maybe by watching a fireworks show?
Fireworks can be fun, but they can be scary for your pets! Our behavior team has put together some tips for helping your pets handle the festivities:
🐾 Keep your pets indoors!
🐾 Make sure they are wearing ID tags and that their microchip information is up to date in case they do get out.
🐾 Use a white noise machine or soothing music to muffle the boom of fireworks.
🐾 Give your animals lots of exercise during the day. If they are tired, they may sleep through the noise!
🐾 Keep them busy with puzzle toys.
🐾 Use a Thundershirt for dogs.
🐾 If your pet has historically been excessively anxious during fireworks or thunderstorms, talk to your vet about medication.
We hope these tips help make this Fourth of July safe and comfortable for you and your pet!
***Please be aware that both Campuses of Santa Barbara Humane will be closed on July 4. ***
