You could go for a long walk or run and check out the happenings around your town.
And lastly, be sure to keep your FAVORITE pal safe during what could be an overwhelming weekend for them.
![Fireworks terrify pets! Create a safe haven for your pets in a sheltered, escape-proff part of your home with plenty of water. Also, turn on the TV to help make the fireworks with familiar sounds. Pledge to keep your pets inside on July 4th. Repin to share!](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/3c/3f/63/3c3f636fdb4230abe9bb2766ad1b6fda.jpg)
After all, more pets get lost on the July 4th weekend than any other one of the year.
Some tips to help keep us safe:
Make sure our ID tags are up to date, secure and visible
If your pup is afraid of loud noises, be sure they are inside and feel safe before the fireworks start.
Maybe even keep them distracted with a treat or toy.
Exercise us early in the day before parties begin--this way we are tired already.
Keep us away from any fireworks, sparklers, or anything that might hurt us.
Do you all have any other good tips for keeping our puppy friends safe and happy during our long weekend of fun?
Whatever you all do to celebrate this long weekend I hope it is great!!

Happy Fourth of July weekend, Moose and family. Thank you for posting your tips on keeping pets safe during the fireworks. If the humans stay calm it helps the pets to relax a bit too - they sense our emotions. If the pet is unusually anxious, talk to the vet about a med to make them sleepy like Benadryl. Have a great weekend everyone!
