Minimizing Noise
The 4th of July can be a time of stress for pets due to the loud noises from fireworks and bustling parties. It's essential to create a calming and comfortable environment to help ease their anxiety. Consider setting up a quiet and soothing space away from the commotion where your pet can retreat for the evening. Providing a cool area with white noise or calming melodies can also help drown out the unsettling sounds. In the episode, Dr. Sugerman highlights the importance of closing windows and drawing curtains to minimize the noise and prevent pets from seeing the fireworks. By taking these measures, you can create a more secure and relaxing area for your pet to enjoy and escape the chaos of 4th of July festivities.

Identification
Securing proper identification for your pet can be a lifesaver in case of an escape. A collar with an ID tag and an up-to-date microchip can significantly increase the chances of reuniting with your lost pet promptly. Dr. Sugarman recommends calling local emergency animal hospitals and humane societies to locate lost pets. Ensuring your pet has accurate identification on them allows you to act fast and locate your pet more efficiently in the event they run away during the stressful celebrations.
