Canada Day Fireworks Can Leave Pets Feeling Frazzled
(firmenpresse) - NEWMARKET, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/30/16 -- Canada Day is a time of food, fun and festivities, but many pets are often frightened by fireworks and need a bit of extra care and consideration over the long weekend.
"We all want to have a great time this holiday," says Tanya Firmage, Chief of Humane Programs and Community Outreach, Ontario SPCA. "Keeping in mind simple pet safety tips will help your pet have a great weekend, too."
Here are a few ways to help minimize stress for your pet this Canada Day:
It''s also important to make sure your pet''s ID is current. Should your pet run away, having an updated ID tag or microchip on your pet will help ensure local animal services can find you to reunite you with your lost pet.
The Ontario SPCA would also like to remind pet owners about the dangers of leaving pets unattended in vehicles during the warm summer months. Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows slightly open. Visit nohotpets.ca and take the pledge to never leave your pet in a vehicle.
"Leaving your pet unattended in a vehicle is one of the most irresponsible things an owner can do, leave your pet at home and if you must take your pet make sure that someone is with it at all times," says Connie Mallory, Chief Inspector, Ontario SPCA. "During the hot summer months, let''s keep everyone safe and cool."
