How I Keep My Dog Chill During Fireworks

Every summer, my dog turns into a trembling puddle at the first firework. If you’ve got a pet who thinks the world is ending every July, you know the struggle. Here’s what actually helps: I play YouTube firework sounds on low while bribing him with treats—desensitization, but make it tasty. We have a “panic room” (aka my closet) stocked with blankets, his favorite toys, and a white noise machine. Curtains closed, lights on, snacks everywhere. If he’s still a mess, I call the vet. No shame in getting the good meds for your anxious furball. Double-check that collar and microchip info! More pets go missing now than any other time. I even clip his leash to both collar and harness for backup. Summer parties are fun, but keeping your pet safe (and sane) is the real win. Anyone else have a dog who could win an Oscar for dramatic reactions? #PetSafety #SummerTips #FireworksAnxiety #Pets
