SHOW YOUR PAWTRIOTISM | DOG FRIENDLY 4TH OF JULY

Tips for a safe, fun and dog-friendly 4th of July

The 4th of July is a great time to celebrate America with all of our friends and family! This year, if you want to include the pooches in the fun, check out these pointers for a four-legged-friendly Fourth!

1. Ditch the Fireworks

Fireworks are scary for most dogs and can lead to dogs getting spooked and running away! Opt for sparklers and ensure your pups are safely away inside before the fireworks start nearby!

2. Provide Puppy Popsicles!

Make some delicious frozen treats for your puppy guests. These berry bites are a colorful and safe option for dogs and their humans!

3. Open the Pool

Keep your dogs cool and happy while they hang out with friends in the pool!

4. Keep the Food Out of Reach

Remember alcohol and many human foods can be poisonous to dogs, or just make them sick in general! Keep the people treats out of reach!
