Independence Day is the #1 day for lost pets

According to Pets911, July 4th is the #1 day of the year for lost pet reports. Dogs especially get easily scared by the noise from fireworks celebrations, and tend to bolt from sheer fright - and go missing.
 
If you plan on attending an Independence Day fireworks display with your dog, please take extra precaution by making sure Spot is wearing a collar, ideally a star-spangled dog collar, with a clearly legible pet ID tag  attached, especially if he or she is not yet microchipped. If the tag is not legible, make a new ID tag. This way, in the event Spot should go missing as a result of fireworks phobia, you have a chance of finding him again.
 
This Friday, sudden, loud noises will sound from sea to shining sea - there's no avoiding it. So if your dog has previously showed signs that he's fearful of sudden, loud noises - whether it's thunder, lightning, or a vacuum cleaner - by all means consider leaving him indoors on this national day of celebration, with the air conditioning on and all doors and windows shut tight.
