Fireworks and pets

Fireworks are irresistible this time of year, and our pets are brought to displays because they really are members of our families. We want them to share in the celebration with us. Please use caution when letting your pet tag along to fireworks displays. Their curiosity draws them close to the action, and even an innocent “sniff” to check out the fireworks can result in a very serious and painful burn to your beloved pet. Most fireworks, even when not lit, are toxic and can be lethal to your dog or cat. Many different metals and chemicals are used to create the beautiful colors and displays. Keeping your pet by your side and being attentive to their behavior and needs will help keep them safe and happy this 4th of July. Happy Independence Day!
