PetsitUSA.com Teams Up With its Member Pet Sitters to Educate Pet Owners About Steps They Can Take to Keep Their Pets Safe During the Fourth of July Holiday
Many dogs and cats become frightened of fireworks and may run if given the chance. Because of this, PetsitUSA.com and its member pet sitters have put together some simple steps for pet owners to take to keep their pets safe during the July 4th holiday.
Regardless of whether or not they think their pet will be frightened, pet owners should take steps to protect them during this noisy holiday
Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 30, 2008 -- The Fourth of July holiday can be an extremely stressful and dangerous time for pets. Many pets are frightened by the sights and sounds caused by firecrackers, sparklers, and commercial fireworks. In their attempt to run from what they perceive as dangerous, they may escape the safety of their own yard or home and get hit by a car, become lost, or experience other life threatening dangers.
The following simple precautions will help pet owners keep their dogs and cats safe during the Fourth of July holiday:
-All pets should wear tags with the owner's home and cell phone numbers.
-Pets that are being cared for by a pet sitter should also have the pet sitter's phone number on their tag.
-Do not take pets to fireworks displays.
-Keep pets indoors. Even dogs that would not normally jump over, or dig under, a secure fenced yard may get out if they are frightened.
-If pets must be left alone during the holiday, ensure they have a quiet, comfortable place to stay and leave some soft music on to calm them. If pets are known to be destructive when they become frightened, remove any items they may destroy or that may cause them harm. Read More……
