Did you know that 45% of dogs are afraid of fireworks? With the Fourth of July fast approaching, it’s essential to talk about some steps on keeping your pet calm, safe, and happy. Check out these tips:

• Feed your dogs earlier during the day since they might lose the appetite to eat when they feel anxious.
• Make sure to provide a safe and quiet place for your dog to stay – inside your house (and not outside, in your backyard or at the park) is the best place for your pet.
• You can mask the sound of fireworks by increasing the TV volume.
• Do your best to keep your dog preoccupied with toys and treats.
• If your dog starts to panic, offer comfort but don’t be too coddling. Otherwise, your dog will sense that something is really wrong because of a change in your behavior.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
