Humans may enjoy the colorful display but it is another thing for your pets. Here are some last-minute warnings and tips for the holiday season.
The 4th of July is the holiday with the most pets reported missing. More pets run away during this time of year because fireworks can scare them. Experts suggest your pet has updated information, whether this is a microchip or a collar with updated tags. Make sure the tags include your name and a good contact number. You should also keep your pet indoors so they are away from the fireworks and can not get lost. Your pets may not understand the noise and the flashes.
