Also, I honestly don't know much about dogs but I think most of this applies to them, too? I do know that more pets go missing in the U.S. on the 4th of July holiday than any other time of year, so please just be extra mindful of all the babbys.

I've had three animals in my life so far, and every time i've always prepared for such scared Floofs, First cat turned out to be deaf, second cat just didn't care, and dog didn't care. 🙃I mean I'm glad so tried 😅 but yeah protect the babies!

In Canada, idiots start setting off fireworks a few days before July 1 & continue after it passes. Dogs also go missing as they run off terrified. My dog is now deaf so she doesn't care but prior to this year, she was terrified. Some donkeys in my neighbourhood were setting them off last night 🤦♀️

My cat always runs for cover away from windows when she hears fireworks. She was caught in Camden as a 3 year old street cat so I assume it’s instinct or learned behavior.

Yes! My dog is on drugs. Because she is already high strung and it's the fourth. It takes so long to take effect we just dose her early (if we wait, it's too late)

It was extremely noisy here last night, so it's fortunate that my dog is deaf and my cat has never given a rat's about fireworks or thunder. This has not been the case with other animals I've had in my life.

I stopped going to the fireworks when I ended up with 90 pounds of terrified German Shepherd in my lap because her owner had no brain & whatever was in his head thought she’d be scareder at home. The only time I charge holiday pay for dogsitting is the week of 7/4.

I really don't understand people who let their cats roam. On top of it being illegal in a lot of cities, cats kept indoors don't get eaten by coyotes, injured or killed by dogs, or possibly run over by cars or trains.

A lot of this likely applies to dogs too, so I'll mention something a bit more specific. Fireworks prevent disabled people from going about their day to day because they scare assistance dogs. Going to work, shopping and other necessary tasks become very difficult/impossible during these times.

Yep, a lot of that applies to dogs too! Plus very secure leash/harness (extra helpful if you can attach to yourself, I have one that can go around my waist) even dogs who don’t normally pull can bolt when scared. Of course try to walk/potty break earlier before fireworks start if possible though.

My late cat wasn't bothered too much by fireworks, but extra dog I ever had in the past just hated them and would hide under the bed. 😭

Yes! Thanks for putting this together. And keep an extra eye on the pups if they are outside at all. May not think they can get over that tall fence. Might not have ever seen em do it. But a scared dog can get over a fence pretty quick. Even a small dog can. Best to keep them inside.

Thanks for posting this! My pup has been beside himself since last night. I love fireworks but I think they have a time and place. People randomly shooting them off at all hours on whatever day doesn’t help the pets. We can keep them distracted for a couple hours but more than that is just cruel
