Thank you to Fox 10 Phoenix for helping us spread the word on how to keep your pets safe on the Fourth of July.

Fireworks, festive foods, and busy gatherings can pose risks to pets during the holidays. Diana Klose with Heidi's Village recommends keeping animals indoors in a quiet, secure space, away from loud noises and unfamiliar guests. Avoid giving table scraps, secure decorations and cords, and ensure collars and microchips are up to date. Planning ahead can prevent stress, injury, or escape. Protection is important during travel or seasonal celebrations.
