ach year, bright lights, crowds and painfully loud noises
cause cats and dogs to become frightened, lost, or even
sick. Some run away and hide, some cry and strain on leashes.

This year, keep your pet in a quiet room during the festivities
of the Fourth. Very nervous pets may need help from your vet.

Dear Worried,
Make sure your pet has an I.D. (identification)
tag that has your current phone number. You
can also have an I.D. chip injected under your
pet’s skin by your veterinarian.
If your pet does get lost, check the neighborhood
and call the animal shelter as soon as possible.
Remember to keep your
pets indoors on the
Fourth of July.
