Fourth of July is almost here, which means it’s time to talk about fireworks. While fireworks can be beautiful to watch and a fun family tradition, it’s important to know that fireworks can pose a significant safety hazard to you and your children.
Fireworks are a fun and exciting way to celebrate holidays like Independence Day. For dogs, though, those loud booms and flashing lights aren’t so fun. More pets run away on the Fourth of July than any other day of the year, so it’s critical to ensure people can identify your dog and contact you if he runs off out of fear. Getting him microchipped well in advance of such holidays is a smart decision. It’s also a good idea to attach identification tags to his collar.
Area municipalities and attractions are gearing up for summer's top pyrotechnics show: the Fourth of July! Look for large fireworks displays throughout the metro area at these Fourth of July events.
