Tips To Ease Your Pet's Fireworks Fears
Thursday 07-03-2008 7:14am CT
While the Fourth of July is a time for fireworks and celebration, for many pets and their owners it can be a nightmare. The loud noises, flashing lights, and smell of sulfur can cause excessive fear in pets. Nervous behaviors such as trembling, whimpering, and panting may be distressful to the pet, but the animal’s natural response to flee from what he interprets as a threatening situation may result in serious injury. Some dogs are so frightened by fireworks that they may run through glass windows, or escape from the yard and run the risk of being hit by a car.
Here are a few tips to keep your pet calm and safe this Fourth of July:
· Leave your pets at home and indoors. Most pets are afraid of fireworks and may try to run away.
· Close all doors and windows and put on background music to muffle the sound. · Close curtains and blinds to block the flashing lights. · Be sure that your pets are wearing identification tags or have microchips in case they do run away or get lost. · Try to distract your pet with chew toys and games, or play with another pet that does not share his fear. · If you have time, desensitization techniques with appropriate sound CDs, such as thunder, fireworks, trains, sirens, etc. may help pets get used to the sounds at a lower volume, then as they become more comfortable, gradually increase the volume. · If your pet has noise phobias, speak to your veterinarian about a remedy to keep your pet calm during storm and fireworks seasons.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend! As a bonus, my BOLD word above that’s usually worth 3,000 MY Club points is worth 6,000 points!

With gasoline topping $4.00 a gallon, it's not surprising that the 2008 Toyota Prius Hybrid Sedan, with an EPA comined 46 mpg, tops the Forbes list of hard-to-get cars.However, the not-so-fuel-friendly Lexus LX Series full-size SUV, with a combine 14 mpg, is second on the list. With a sticker price of $74,700...it's a little out of my price range!
