Help your dog overcome fireworks fear by tiring him out and keeping him busy during the celebration.

Fourth of July dog dangers include bones snatched at picnics, fireworks, and dogs who are injured trying to escape from fireworks noise.

It’s the most dangerous holiday for pets. Dogs are most likely to run away in fear and get lost or injured.

Most dogs are afraid of fireworks. Keep your dog safe by:

  • Keeping your dog inside
  • Prevent escapes
  • Create a safe haven
  • Tire your dog out
  • Soothe your dog
  • Stay calm
  • Don’t reward nervous behavior
