How to keep your pets safe during July 4 fireworks | amNewYork
Briefly

Independence Day poses significant risks for pets, particularly dogs, due to fireworks, crowds, and high temperatures. It is the day with the highest incidence of lost and injured dogs. To ensure safety, pets should be kept indoors during fireworks. Homes should be made comfortable and quiet to alleviate stress for anxious pets. Careful planning is necessary when hosting gatherings, ensuring pets are in secure areas to avoid panic or injury. Keeping pets calm, cool, and indoors contributes to their well-being on this chaotic day.
July 4th is the day when more dogs get lost than on any other day of the year. They also get injured. It is a time to be super vigilant about your pet's safety.
Keep your dog safe indoors: Never allow pets outside when fireworks or sparklers are being used. Even small fireworks can frighten dogs into running away.
If your dog is scared of fireworks noise inside the house, keep them in a quiet, closed-off room with the A/C on and the TV or music playing to help drown out the noise.
Make plans for your dog before guests arrive. Try to keep him in a gated area where he can see people but cannot get out.
