With loud noises from fireworks or unfamiliar foot traffic from barbecues and pool parties, your pet can become overwhelmed pretty quickly during the Fourth of July holiday.
In fact, according to the American Kennel Club, more pets go missing or run away during Independence Day than any other time of year.
“Summer is always busy for us, and the Fourth is usually our busiest day during the season,” said Daryl Sprague, chief development and marketing officer for the Animal Foundation at 655 N. Mojave Road.
