Keeping Pets Calm and Safe During Fourth of July Celebrations
UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – Lost Dogs Massachusetts reported 115 lost dog forms this year, reflecting a rise in pets fleeing fireworks-induced anxiety during Fourth of July celebrations nationwide.
- With Independence Day near, experts warn that fireworks festivities can cause considerable anxiety and safety hazards for both pets and farm animals.
- This concern arises because fireworks noise, crowds, and unfamiliar places can frighten animals, increasing the risk of escape, injury, and shelter intake spikes.
- Authorities and veterinary groups recommend keeping pets indoors in quiet, secure areas, updating microchip info, avoiding toxic foods, keeping animals away from grills and debris, and securing horses safely.
- Hitchcock Road Animal Services reported a typical 20-30% rise in holiday animal intakes and warned many lost pets remain unclaimed, while officials enforce fines for illegal fireworks and deploy drone surveillance.
- These measures aim to reduce harm, ensure pets remain safe at home, and emphasize early planning to minimize the physical and psychological risks fireworks pose to animals during the holiday weekend.
