The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and while we enjoy barbecues and festivities as much as the next person, our pets are often dreading the main event: the fireworks. The explosive sounds can cause severe anxiety in even the most laid-back dogs and cats.
At Healthy Healthy Hemp Pet Company, we’ve spent over a decade helping pet parents navigate stressful situations. The single most important thing we’ve found to help for the Fourth of July(and for us Utahns the 24th) is to prepare early. Waiting until the last minute can leave you and your pet in a panic. Now is the time to make a plan.
1. Secure Your Pet's Environment
This is your first line of defense. Long before the fireworks begin, ensure your pet has a secure place of comfort.
- Designate a “safe space” in the quietest, most interior room of your house and fill it with their bed and their favorite toys.
- Check all doors and windows to ensure they are securely closed. A scared pet can be a master escape artist.
- Prepare distractions like calming music or a white noise machine to help mask the frightening sounds from outside.
2. Plan for Pre-fireworks Exercise
A well exercised pet is a more relaxed pet. A long walk, a game of fetch, or a good play session in the afternoon – well before any celebrations kick off – can help burn off nervous energy and encourage them to rest later in the evening.
3. Order Calming Support Now (Don't Wait!)
For many pets, environmental changes and exercise aren’t enough. If you know your pet suffers from noise anxiety, now is the time to order natural calming support. The secret to a stress-free holiday is having these tools on hand before you need them.
Waiting until the week of the Fourth can be too late due to shipping times and the need to have your plan in place. Some tools you can use are.
