I had planned on writing about crate training, but after taking Benji out a few minutes ago, I felt called to write about taking care of your pet during the 4th of July festivities. A while back, I wrote about products to help keep your pets safe. The key to keeping your fur babies safe is being prepared.
Benji is not a fan of fireworks. I’m not sure if he would bolt if he got freaked out enough, but I don’t want to find out. During my first year with Benji, I got to know him well and noticed his aversion to loud booms.
As the 4th of July festivities started to heat up in my neighborhood that first year, I had Benji out for a potty break when the neighbors set off some small firecrackers. That was all it took! He raced back into the house and that was it. I don’t leave him alone during this time. I plan my schedule around the festivities, walk him earlier in the day, and we hang out together in the evenings. Why do I do this? Benji counts on me to keep him safe, and I will not let him down…ever.
More pets end up in shelters during this time of year. Let’s protect our pets and keep this from happening.
Please visit my blog on Keeping Your Pet Safe During the Summer Holidays. And also, don’t forget that the 4th of July festivities are not only hard on our pets but some of our neighbors as well. Check in on them and make sure they are okay.
