LINCOLN COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY OFFERS 4TH OF JULY SAFETY TIPS FOR FURRY FRIENDS

July 4th is soon approaching, and the Lincoln County Humane Society offers some helpful tips for keeping your pets safe during fireworks celebrations.

– Keep curtains closed, ceiling fans running, and the tv on to help distract your pet

– Make sure your pet has a well-fitting collar with a current ID tag, and their microchip registration is current

– Try a pheromone based plug-in like Canine Calm or Feliway

– Walk your dog earlier in the day to reduce stress

– Leave new toys or special treats for your pet as a distraction

– Check out “thundershirts” or discuss prescription medication with your veterinarian

Pet owners are encouraged to keep their furry friends at home during the firework shows, and to make sure windows and doors are secure.
