Hello! The fourth of July is just around the corner and I’m thrilled to hear about everyone’s fun plans. part of my plans involve making sure our dogs are calm and safe. It’s something my family worries about each year and I thought I’d share some of my safety suggestions for the 4th of July.
1. Pet safety on 4th of July
The 4th of July is one of the most likely days your canine will run away. Our furry friends have a heightened sense of hearing and smell and all the fireworks can Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Marruecos really scare them!

– consider a Thunder Coat. Ben’s family got one for their canine Rufus because he’s very scared of lightening.
Pet safety suggestions for the 4th of July
Keep them inside or somewhere they cannot get out.
Try to muffle the noise of fireworks with TV or a fan.
Make sure they have their canine labels / identification on.
Don’t purchase alcohol for underage dogs.
2. Swim Safety.
Beaches – have you heard about all the recent shark attacks off the coast of North Carolina? very scary.
I am not a shark-ologist so check out these Shark safety suggestions from ABC.
Also check the weather and surf reports for information on currents and rip tides. respect any signs or warnings.
Pool – always always always have an adult viewing the pool when children (or intoxicated adults) are around. The problem with big parties is people often think someone else is keeping an eye on your little ones.
Take turns, assign shifts, do whatever is needed to have responsible eyes on the pool whatsoever times. Have a life preserver near by and easy to grab.
And always wear sunblock.
3. Food Safety.
– plan who is in charge of what : grilling, sides, drinks.
And let the grill-master do the BBQ themselves unless otherwise communicated. (I’ve seen a few news stories lately of people turning on the gas and leaving the top down or not telling the next person it’s already on, results in a huge fire explosion.)
– The amount of time you can leave food out depends on the temperature outside and the type of food. Meats and mayo-based salads will not keep out as long as chips and veggies. note when things were set out.
Tip: Text someone else at the party with the time you set out each food so it’s recorded in your phone and now two people know.
– For our last BBQ we put down big metal containers filled with ice and put Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Australia the food on top of that for the cold items and hot chafing dishes for the hot foods. Or a cold salad tray is a good idea for things you want to keep items cold too.
4. Firework Safety.
– keep a bucket of water and fire extinguisher near by.
– Don’t hold fire works or light them by anything flammable.
– use common sense and be smart and safe. It’s the 4th of July and everyone’s lighting fireworks so it’s easy to forget that you’re still playing with fire, literally.
– Don’t light fireworks if you’re intoxicated.
