Preparing for the fireworks and keeping

The 4th of July is the biggest day in the US for dogs to become lost than any other time of the year…
Here are some safety tips for you and your canine friends:
Try to get your dog tired early in the day. Tired dogs are less reactive.
If you go to see a fireworks display, leave your dog at home.
Leave your dogs inside during the fireworks and if you must let them out during fireworks, go out with them or preferably on a leash.
Give them a safe place to hide. Many dogs prefer a small, enclosed area like a crate covered with a blanket or a bathtub or shower stall.
Be sure your dogs have a well-fitted collar with ID tags on, just in case.

Give your dog a busy item like a Kong filled with treats (I put treats in mine and seal it with a mix of peanut butter and plain yogurt and then freeze it), bully sticks, No-Hide Dog Chew or a Benebone.

Use a calming wrap like the Anxiety Wrap or a Thundershirt.
Use Adaptil (containing dog appeasing pheromone).As a last resort for very fearful dogs, check with your vet. Many dogs can be prescribed a sedative like alprazolam (Xanax for dogs).
