Keeping Pets Safe: Navigating Fireworks Anxiety On Independence Day
Personal views on fireworks aside, this is a very tough time of year for pet owners especially those whose animals are skittish by nature. Last April, we lost our beloved German Shorthair, Snickers, and fireworks absolutely drove him insane. Snickers was not much of a runner but once the explosions started he would always quickly try to seek out a bed to hide under or a place where he could burrow. Other dogs will run and every year at the radio station around this time we get more calls about lost pets than any other time of the year.
