Firework show

At the conclusion of each day of the festival—about 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday—the festival will have a firework show.

Fireworks also can be upsetting for pets. Please make sure your dog(s) is secure inside your home, particularly during the evenings of the holiday weekend.

If your dog has a tendency to become anxious at loud noises, please consider staying home with the animal; playing music in the house to drown out the noise of fireworks; and/or buying a product that “hugs” the dog. Your veterinarian also may be able to provide a tranquilizer for the dog.

For more ideas on keeping your dog safe on these holidays, please see the article, “10 Fourth of July Pet Safety Tips.”
