Just a quick note to remind folks that many dogs get spooked and can run away and get lost this time of year.
Be sure to keep your dogs INSIDE as much as possible until all of the fireworks subside - which could be a few weeks after the 4th of July, in some neighborhoods.
Even if they are inside, they may not be safe. Watch for agitation! I've known dogs who've jumped through windows, broken out doors, etc. in their fear of the sounds and smells of Independence Day.
If the dogs are outside, be sure they are supervised, tethered, or fully enclosed and that there is no chance of escape.
Also, if having fireworks at home, be sure to clean up all wrappers and debris left over!
Have a safe & happy Fourth!
