🎇 Still feeling festive this weekend? If you’re keeping the 4th of July celebrations going, don’t forget to keep wildlife and pets in mind!🐾
Whether you’re planning a late-night firework show or just enjoying time outdoors, here are some simple tips to help keep your furry friends and wild neighbors safe:
For Wildlife:
✨ Set off fireworks away from forests, wetlands, and natural habitats
🧹 Pick up any firework debris, it can be dangerous if animals find it
🚗 Drive carefully! Startled wildlife may be crossing roads
🎆 Consider joining a community display rather than lighting fireworks at home
For Pets:
🏠 Keep them indoors and offer a quiet, comforting space
🎵 Use fans or music to help mask loud booms
📛 Double-check that collars and ID tags are secure
🚫 Skip glow sticks or jewelry, they can be harmful if chewed!
Let’s wrap up the holiday weekend safely, for us, our pets, and the wild world around us! 💙
