The veterinary and toxicology experts at the Pet Poison Hotline are offering pet owners tips for a safe 4th of July!

You may have noticed on July 4th, whenever fireworks go off, pets can become extremely fearful. Fireworks are the biggest issue for pets!  The extremely loud noises they make create fear for pets. It is best to keep your pets as far away from the activity as possible.

If your pet has an extreme phobia to loud noises, veterinarians can prescribe anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives for the more severe cases. Also, be sure to let other homeowners around you if you plan on setting off fireworks so they can plan to reduce the stress and anxiety it may cause their pets. Unused fireworks are very dangerous as well. Fireworks contain hazardous chemicals which if consumed by pets it could be harmful to red blood cells, kidneys, potassium levels and can cause heavy metal poisoning!
