Easing Your Pet's Anxiety on the 4th of July

At All Friends Veterinary Hospital in East Islip, NY, we know that the loud noises of the 4th of July cause anxiety in many pets. Our veterinarian has put together these handy tips for making sure that all those fireworks are fun for the whole family and not a source of anxiety.

How to Handle Pets and Fireworks

There is a lot that goes into helping your pet handle fireworks. The best thing you can do is to bring your pet to our veterinarian for a checkup. Hearing problems, anxiety, and even bad joints can all make the 4th of July a hard time for your pet. Our vet can help you with these pet health concerns.

Exercise on the 4th of July

When it comes to pets and fireworks, nothing helps to relax your pet on the 4th of July more than some good exercise. Whether you have a cat or a dog, make sure to get plenty of walks or playtime in before the festivities begin. This will help get rid of any excess energy that can lead to anxiety.

Stay Close to Your Pet

Your pet sees you as a source of comfort. You are the leader of the pack and when they are stressed out, they want to be by your side. Spend the 4th of July with your pet to help them with their anxiety.

Create a Comforting Haven

Our veterinarian also recommends setting up a space just for your pet. Have their favorite toys, bedding, and treats ready to go. A comforting area will ease your pet’s anxiety and create an enjoyable experience for them.

Testimonial

  • "I can not say enough about these wonderful people. Dr. Reda is the most compassionate veterinarian I have ever met. My beloved dog passed from cancer, but they were there every step of the way with any questions or concerns, even when they were oh vacation and I was totally distraught about it, they made sure to address my concerns and never made me feel like I was crazy. There should be more people like Dr. Reda and his staff in this business. I am forever grateful for all of you."

  • "I had such a good experience when I brought in a feral cat family during a TNR mission that I returned a month later when I adopted two of the kittens. Dr. Reda is simply a wonderful veterinarian. I appreciate his well-informed, holistic approach to treatment. He & his staff take the time to give me plenty of information and answer all my questions, while doing everything they can to minimize any distress and discomfort my cats experienced during the visit. In short, if you are looking for a vet that is highly knowledgeable, accessible, and compassionate, I cannot recommend All Friends highly enough."
