Keep Pets Safe This Fourth of July | Baltimore News

As the Fourth of July heats up, animal shelters are on high alert—fireworks send pets into panic mode, leading to more lost animals. With loud noises, chaotic crowds, and open doors, even fenced-in pets can bolt. Experts recommend early walks, quiet indoor spaces, background noise like TV or radio, and mental stimulation to keep pets calm. Also beware of cookout dangers: corn cobs, bones, skewers, and even beer can be deadly. Always ensure pets wear ID collars. If your pet goes missing, check your neighborhood first and contact ALL local shelters immediately—not just the closest ones.
