Fireworks and Pet Safety

Dogs have double the hearing range of humans so the loud noises of the festivities from the fourth of July can be too much for them. Keep them comfortable with be sure to keep giving them positive reinforcement if they become anxious. Drown out the noise by keeping them in a room with a television or radio playing or with a fan blowing so the celebratory noises won't be so overwhelming.
