4th of July Safety Tips for Pets

4th of July Safety Tips for Pets by Christine Mandrake

Summer has officially started and it’s time for fun family outings, picnics in the park and hiking and biking the trails. For many of us, our canine companions enjoy participating in all these fun activities. But, unfortunately not all our pets enjoy all the festivities as much as we do.

The 4th of July can be especially distressing and scary for some dogs (and cats too). If your pet experience stress to the loud booming noises of fireworks here are a few tips that can help keep them safe and happy.

July 4th Don’ts:

Do not take your dog to fireworks displays. Even if your dog isn’t normally afraid of loud noises, the intense booms of fireworks and all the ooohs and ahhh’s can make any dog a little (or a lot) tense.

Don’t leave your dog in your car. Even with the windows partially open hot humid summer evenings can still pose a risk to your dog. And, cracked windows can be an invitation for your dog to escape placing them at risk for getting injured and lost in its panic to get away.

Don’t leave your dog outside in a fenced yard or chained up. Every year dogs escape by jumping fences or digging under them. Scared panicked dogs are at greater risk of getting lost, injured or even worse killed by being hit by a car. Chains can also get tangled and injure a dog that is desperately trying to get away.

July 4th Do’s:

Do make sure you keep your pets indoors in a safe and secure room. Make sure to remove any items that could be harmful like ropes, cords or anything that could be harmful if chewed or ingested.

Do make sure your dog and cat is wearing up to date identification. In addition, make sure your microchip company has the correct contact information on file. Also, keep pictures of your pets handy in case of an escape. Each year Shelters and Animal Control facilities see their share of pets, lost and frightened from fireworks. Having the proper id on your pets helps ensure their speedy return.

Do make sure they are surrounded by familiar items like their bed, blanket and their favorite toys.

Turn the radio or television on at normal levels to mimic typical household sounds. This can help keep your dog company while you’re at the neighborhood barbeque, picnic or parade.

Keep blinds and drapes closed to help give them a more sheltered feeling.

If your pet has extreme anxiety consider using a safe calming supplement or spray. Many natural plants and herbs promote a sense of calm and relaxation in animals as well as people. Never use any drugs or medications with your pet without consulting your veterinarian.

Can you plant plants and flowers in California in July?

My husband and I are buying are first home and are expected to close escrow and move in, in about two weeks; mid July. Is it too late to plant flowers this time of year in California?
For those you don’t completly understand my question.

I am not asking if it is illegal or if I am physically capable, I am asking if they will grow and be beautiful or is it too hot now?

No, it’s not too late. However, when you’re transplanting the plants out of the six packs be sure to give the plants plenty of water the first few days and shading them for 3 or 4 days would help them not to go into shock. I’ve lived in CA most of my life, and you can plant flowers most months of the year. I live in the mountains and the only months I don’t plant are Novemeber through February; but when I lived in the Valley I didn’t plant from December-January. It just depends where you live–but as long as the ground isn’t frozen you can plant just about any flower. Good luck and congrats on your new home!
