JULY 4th STRIKES TERROR IN MANY DOGS, HERE'S WHAT TO DO

4th of July weekend is one of the busiest times of the year for animal shelters. Many dogs and cats act unpredictably out of fear. That's one reason why an enormous number of pets get lost over July 4th weekend and shelters fill up! 

Nooooo Fireworks, please!

4th of July Fireworks can be Terrifying for Dogs and Cats

Virtually nothing bothered my little dog Phoebe.  My dog Icy on the other hand, is terrified of thunder and fireworks!  July 4th is around the corner.  If your dog is anything like Icy, you're already creating a plan of action to avoid your dog going Bonkers over the fireworks.

Here's a wonderful Info-Graphic the folks at K9 Of Mine sent me to share with all of you. Download it, Print it out & tape it to the fridge, Pin it, Tweet it, and Share it with other parents of dogs in the I HATE FIREWORKS club!

THANKS TO K9 OF MINE FOR THIS WONDERFUL PET SAFETY INFO GRAPHIC!



Poor Icy, she's a total train wreck during fireworks. But Phoebe? She was fearless!
