In fact, more dogs run away on July 4th than any other day of the year. Running away from the noise, bright lights and burning smell is a survival mechanism for dogs. But, you can help your four-legged friend get through this Independence Day with a few helpful tips.

Whether it’s in a crate or a quiet room, provide your fur ball with a comfortable space away from the lights and noise. This will your dog a feeling of security during fireworks, parties and other stressful events. Keep windows, curtains and doors closed to prevent the ongoing fireworks from startling your pet.
