This can be a scary time for your pets please take these suggestions into mind.

#1 – If you are leaving, be sure to keep your pets indoors, and preferably towards the middle of the house to help eliminate the boom sounds against windows.

#2 – Leave the TV or radio on medium level to drown out the noise.

#3 – If you pet is destructive, quarantine them to a certain part of your home.

#4 – Leave them with a task to do. Kongs work great for this!

#5 – DO NOT make a big deal of leaving. This will add to their anxiety.

#6 – Close the doggy door. Do you know that shelters see and influx of pets after the 4th of July bc so many pets try to “escape” bc they are scared?
