🎆 Happy Fourth of July from Lakefield Veterinary Group! 🇺🇸 We hope you and your furry friends have a fun and safe celebration. Fireworks can be frightening for pets, so here are some tips to keep them calm and comfortable: Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy, quiet area inside your home where your pet can retreat from the noise. Close Windows and Curtains: This can help muffle the sound of fireworks and prevent pets from seeing the flashes of light. Use Calming Aids: Consider using calming treats, pheromone diffusers, or anxiety wraps. Play Background Noise: Turn on the TV, radio, or a white noise machine to help drown out the fireworks. Stay Calm: Pets can pick up on your anxiety, so remain calm and act normally. ID Tags and Microchips: Ensure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are up-to-date, just in case they get scared and run off. Wishing you all a fantastic and safe holiday! 🐾❤️💥 #FourthOfJuly #PetSafety #LakefieldVet

With the #FourthOfJuly approaching, #MinXray would like to remind pet owners that extra precautions are necessary in order to protect pets during noisy celebrations. ID & MICROCHIP - Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with your current contact information, and check that the microchip is registered and correct. EXERCISE EARLY - Take your dogs for walks/play with them early in the day to help release extra energy. SAFE & INSIDE - Bring pets indoors and make them extra comfortable with soft, cool, soothing places to rest and hang out. Double check for escape routes and secure them. WATCH FOR HAZARDS - Make sure pets do not have access to toxic items like charcoal, glow sticks, fireworks or sparklers. VISIT YOUR VET - Talk to your veterinarian if you feel your pet may need additional support through medications. www.MinXray.com #CompanionAnimals #PetAnxiety #4thOfJuly #Fireworks

Comment “YES” Below & Learn More! According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, 8.3% of pet poison calls are due to exposure to household cleaning products. Cleaning products can be dangerous to pets if they lick, inhale, or ingest them, or if they come into contact with their skin or eyes. Pets have smaller lung capacities than humans, so they inhale and absorb chemicals into their lungs much more quickly. Many cleaning products also leave a residue that pets can absorb into their fur and skin. In reality, all cleaners are toxic to pets, some are worse than others. Is your cleaning worth their life? I know the answer is NO, you just don’t know where to start! Switch to plant-based products. Comment “YES” Below & Learn More about how easy switching can be. #ToxinFreeLiving #HealthyPets #HolisticDog #DogMamaLife
