July 4th & Pets

As July 4th festivities and fireworks approach don't forget to keep your animals safe!

From the CDHS web site:

Each July the Central Dakota Humane Society receives many calls from pet guardians frantically searching for much-loved cats and dogs. The sights and sounds of the 4th of July are very frightening to most companion animals and awareness on our part can keep our beloved animals safe.

Firecrackers, thunder and other loud, out-of-nowhere sounds often leave pets wanting to flee to a safer place. Please keep your pets indoors during this time. Also, if you have guests in your home, be cautious that doors are not accidentally left open, allowing an escape route for a frightened friend.

Protect and comfort your pet during this time, and keep it a fun holiday for the entire family!
