Fireworks — and other loud events like thunderstorms — can cause real fear and anxiety for many dogs and cats. Some pets panic, bolt, or injure themselves trying to escape the noise, and every year pets are lost or hurt during fireworks season. A little planning goes a long way: keeping your pet safely indoors, creating a quiet retreat, and staying with them where you can all help them feel more secure.
