This could be a good time to remind everyone more pets run away on the 4th of July in addition compared to another day. br br Pets have the world through their senses: smell, hearing, sight, taste, and touch. Because fireworks are close to the ground and are combined with loud noise, flashes regarding and burning odors, they often times cause pets being fearful and trigger their flight mechanism. br br Please ensure that all pets are kept indoors within a safe area and they are wearing identification together with your current contact information. Make sure to keep all windows, doors, doggy doorscat flaps, etc. closed. br br Close curtains and blinds and play in the TV, music or white-noise to help mask the fireworks' sounds and lightweight flashes. br br Remember that fearful cats don't especially like to be held. They like to get left to manage it alone. Dogs do not understand our calming words. They communicate through energy level.
