With the Fourth of July right around the corner, you are probably thinking about barbecues, fireworks, and seeing friends and family. However, you should also be thinking about what will happen when the fireworks start going off, and your dog or cat not having any idea what is going on. To you, it is a beautiful display of patriotism, to them, they think something bad is happening and they are in danger. Everyone wants the Fourth of July to be a day filled with fun, so instead of worrying about what your pet will do when the fireworks go off it is best to be prepared before hand.
