It?s normal if your dog gets scared.??Dogs have keen senses and acute hearing makes?them more sensitive to the sounds of fireworks. During fireworks, your dog may?experience?an increase in heart rate, a rush of adrenaline, and an increase in stress hormones circulating through the body.
Don’t bring your pets to a fireworks display, even a small one.
If fireworks are being used near your home, put your pet in a safe, interior room to avoid exposure to the sound.
Make sure your pet has an identification tag, in case it runs off during a fireworks display.
Never shoot fireworks of any kind (consumer fireworks, sparklers, fountains, etc.) near pets.
Other Safety Tips:
SUN: Protect your skin against the sun with SPF, drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
POOLS: Keep an eye on young children, make sure floatation devices are worn – check for leaks.
BBQ: Make sure grill is in working order, don’t ignite charcoal with lighter fluid or gasoline, never lean over open flame.
FIREWORKS: Stay a safe distance away from any fireworks display. Children can be burned by sparklers as the wire remains hot enough to burn skin after the sparks have ended.
