As an FYI, this year, because July 5 is a Friday, your friendly neighborhood fireworks aficionado gets an extra day to play with pyrotechnics. 🧨

💥

Reminder we will be closed on Thursday, July 4. The Doctor will be back in on Friday, July 5!

While fireworks are fun for people, they can be very harmful to your pets! Keep pets inside or at a safe distance while enjoying the 4th! 🎆

The fourth of July is near and what better way to celebrate than with fireworks and sparklers. Although it may not be expected, dogs will chew on and eat fireworks and may become anxious due to the unexpected, loud sound. When ingested dogs can have GI upset, obstruction, and even damage to their red blood cells. It’s best to keep your furry friends inside while enjoying the pyrotechnics!

If your pet has firework anxiety, please don’t wait until the last minute to get calming meds refilled!
