10 Pet Safety Tips for the Fourth of July

When gearing up for a fun-filled Fourth of July, it’s important to keep in mind all of the potential risks to our pets during the festivities. While this holiday will likely include many potential stressors for our pets, there are steps we can take to minimize the impact. Here’s how to keep your pets safe this Fourth of July.

1. Keep Your Pet Indoors

It’s best to keep pets inside during July Fourth celebrations. For one, cats and dogs don’t sweat to cool themselves the way we humans do, making them much more susceptible to overheating. Many are also overwhelmed or overly excited by a large gathering of people, and some people aren’t comfortable or confident interacting with other pets.

Keeping your cat and/or dog in the house is a great first step, but it’s more ideal to have your pet behind a barrier when there are people coming in and out of the house. This helps ensure your pet doesn’t have the opportunity to dart outside and get loose. This could be:

A baby gate

An interior door

A crate

A pen

2. Create a Safe Space for Your Pet
Consider how the excitement of the day may affect your pet. For cats and dogs more sensitive to noise, a room that has the least exposure to the outdoors and the best sound dampening would likely be most comfortable for them.

They will appreciate a cozy bed or a familiar place for them to lounge, enrichment toys or their favorite chew, and fresh water. Adding white noise or music to drown out additional noise, or a pheromone diffuser such as Feliway® or Adaptil™, can provide additional stress relief.

3. Prepare for Noise Phobias
If your pet has shown fear, anxiety, or stress with sudden loud noises in the past, it is best to start making arrangements for them a few weeks before the Fourth of July. This includes discussing their sensitivity with your vet and planning for the holiday. This may include:

Prescription medications for your dog or cat

CBD drops, calming chews or supplements

Environmental modifications

Anxiety vests, such as a ThunderShirt

Appeasing pheromones

Practicing desensitization and counter conditioning to firework sounds leading up to the holiday can also help reduce fear. Pets who are anxious typically should not be left alone, so hiring a pet sitter or making plans to stay with them during fireworks is also important.

4. Make Sure Your Pet Has an Up-To-Date ID
Even when taking all precautions, accidents can still happen. It’s important to make sure your pet can be easily identified and returned to you if they do get loose. Having your pet wear a collar with up-to-date contact information can make their prompt return more likely.
Having your animals microchipped—and the microchip registered with all necessary information—provides an added method of identification if they happen to lose their collar. It’s also a good idea to have clear, up-to-date photos of your pets in case they go missing.

5. Don’t Give Your Pet People Food
Many common backyard barbecue foods carry serious medical risks for both dogs and cats. Beyond the risk of gastrointestinal upset, many ingredients are also incredibly toxic to our pets, such as onions, garlic, and grapes. Pets cannot digest high-fat foods well, and ingesting large quantities of snacks like brisket or hot dogs can lead to a very painful condition called pancreatitis.

6. Avoid Letting Your Pet Around Alcohol

Alcohol is very toxic to dogs and cats, causing depression of the central nervous system, organ failure, and even death. Note that alcohol does not have to be ingested for your pets to have a toxic reaction; it can also be absorbed through the skin. For your pets’ safety, any product containing alcohol should be kept out of their reach.

7. Don’t Let Your Pet Play With Glow Sticks

8. Keep Your Pet Away From Citronella insect repellant. It can be found as candles, sprays, torches, essential oils, and in plant form.

9. Stay Alert for Signs of Overheating
Pets don’t tolerate hot, humid weather well, and high temperatures can put them at risk of overheating. Providing ample shade and plenty of cool water are two things we can do to minimize this risk.

10. Have the grill be inaccessible to them completely

Preparing ahead of time and taking the necessary precautions to ensure the well-being of our pets can allow us all to have a fun—and safe—holiday. PetMD
