2. Prepare Your Dog for the 4th - Early preparation for the 4th can save you and your dog a lot of grief. Here are a few ideas from Roseville Dog Owners' Group www.rosevilledog.org :
1. Plan a dog-friendly 4th away from fireworks is the best bet.
2. Talk to your vet about the benefits of sedating your dog.
3. Purchase a CD of fireworks noises and play at graduating levels, giving treats after each noise.
4. If crate trained, leave in the crate with a long-lasting treat like a frozen Beef Bone. Spray the inside with CAP Comfort Zone, a calming pheromone. All these can be found at pet stores.
3. Adopt a Homeless Pet - www.Petfinder.com Many puppies and kittens need homes now. Please help and give someone a forever home.

Great tips, especially about taking your pet away from fireworks OR getting them used to it. Thanks!
Thank you Troy. We tend to forget that fireworks can really scare an animal. Thanks for stopping by.
My little Shih Tzu, Lulu is really terrified of any sound like fireworks. I always stay home with her on the 4th of July. Good suggestions.
You are a good mom Sandra. Have a happy 4th with Lulu.
Lori, I HATE the 4th here. It starts two weeks before and ends somewhere around Christmas, when the festivities begin again. My old dog can no longer hear as good as she did, so the noise doesn't bother her as much, but she will still get into panic mode if she hears a loud bang, and unfortunately for us that goes on for way too long. I'm so glad fireworks are illegal in our county )-:
Great tips, my dogs are usually pretty good on the 4th as long as it doesn't get out of control. My friends dog hats the 4th so i will pass your suggestions on to her. Thanks!
