The Fourth of July is a time to celebrate with friends, family — and of course, our pets.

While fireworks are a holiday favorite, they can be overwhelming for pets. If you’re heading out to a display, it’s best to leave your pet safely at home. Watching from home? Create a quiet, comfortable space where they feel secure and the noise is minimized.
