Every year on the Fourth of July, pets get lost after they are frightened by fireworks and run away from the noise, escaping out of their house or yard. Even if you have not had a problem in the past, you never know if this year, there will be nearby loud noises and your pet will react.
Take precautions ahead of time: take your dog out for exercise earlier in the day before Fourth of July fireworks begin. Bring your dog indoors into a secure, quiet area, with food, water and treats during the evening.
