Hi everyone, I was helping out at a puppy obedience class tonight, and the dog trainer reminded all the students about the dangers of July 4 for our furry friends (this applies especially to dogs, but to cats as well). The trainer pointed out that the day after the 4th of July most animal shelters are bursting at the seams with animals, especially dogs. This is because most dogs don''t get accustomed to fireworks during the crucial time before they are 4-5 months old, and are thus extremely scared of them. Dog owners should be VERY CAREFUL and VIGILANT on the 4th to ensure that tragedy does not strike in the form of a runaway pet, or worse.
Please, all of you who have furry family members, take a moment to look over this link on 4th of July animal safety, for your pets'' sake and your own.
Have a safe and happy 4th everyone!!!
