Fireworks Freak Out: How to Save Your Pets
Let’s be real: summer parties are awesome for us, but a nightmare for our pets. Fireworks? Basically a horror movie for dogs and cats. If you’re tempted to bring your furry friend to a fireworks show, don’t. They don’t want to be there. And leaving them in the car? That’s a hard no—cars heat up fast, and it’s dangerous.
Best move: keep them inside, windows closed, curtains drawn. Give them a chew toy, blast some music or white noise, and let them chill. Walk them early, before the chaos starts. If your pet already hates thunder, talk to your vet—there are meds that can help.
Never leave pets outside alone, even if you think your yard is escape-proof. Panic makes pets do wild things. And double-check their ID tags and microchips, just in case. If your pet does get lost, post on Petco Love Lost—it’s free and uses facial recognition to help you find them.
