The day for patriotic partying can be a nightmare for your pet especially if they have anxiety issues.

Your veterinarian at Clinton Hill Animal Clinic will give you some tips to keep your pet safe.

Keep Your Pet in the House

4th of July is filled with music, people dancing and even a fireworks display. This can be too much for your pet. Most pets get scared of all the noise and try to escape it by running away from the yard. During this period, so many pets get lost. Keep yours safe by locking him in the house.

Make Your Pet Wear a Tag

As stated above, this is the holiday when many pets get lost. Even if you are too careful, your pet might find a way out of the house. If this happens you will be glad he was wearing a tag with up to date information. Remember having two collar ID’s are better than one.

Consider Boarding
