Silence Is Golden: Understanding Fireworks Trauma in Pets
Summer is filled with celebrations, outdoor cookouts, and extra time with your two-legged and four-legged family members. Many enjoy the majestic colors of Independence Day fireworks as well as the displays that take place during the weeks leading up to July Fourth. Many pet owners want to include their pets in the summer festivities. Unfortunately, Independence Day is the busiest day for animal shelters because of the large numbers of pets who go missing since they have a noise aversion to fireworks and respond with fear. OurAnimal Emergency Care team wants to ensure your pets are safe during summer celebrations, and we discuss fireworks trauma, signs, treatment, and prevention.
