Petfinder.com is a great place to go if you're looking to buy a pet, they also give some great advice on how to keep your pet safe and calm during the fireworks this year:
- Keep your pets indoors with the windows closed and air conditioner running or a radio on to help mask out as much noise as possible.
- Allow your pets the freedom to seek refuge under the bed, behind the toilet or in the back of the closet without dragging them out to stroke them and murmur "it's okay." For many animals, that well-meant reassurance is the first step in establishing a serious phobia.
- If your pet gets especially stressed or your neighborhood is particularly noisy, you may wish to talk to your veterinarian about the practicality of using tranquilizers or homeopathic remedies such as rock rose, mimulus or rescue remedy. In severe cases, you might consider sending your pet to a nice quiet country boarding kennel for the worst of it.
Have a good one!!
