Protecting Pets from Fireworks Stress

Fireworks and festivities can be overwhelming and even dangerous for pets. Sugar Land Animal Services encourages all pet owners to take a few simple precautions to keep their animals safe and secure. A little preparation can go a long way in keeping your furry family members safe this holiday.

If your pet tends to get anxious during fireworks, this might be a good time to talk to your veterinarian about possible medication options.

Now is the time to make sure your pet is microchipped and that the microchip is registered with your current contact information.

Ensure your pet is wearing an ID collar with the correct information.

Make sure there is no area where your dog could escape or dig out of your yard.

Identify a safe place for your pet during festivities. Plan to have music and toys to distract your dog.
