Summary:
With the July 4th holiday weekend quickly approaching, the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center is reminding you to keep your pets happy and safe. Here are some important tips:

- Please resist the urge to take your pets with you to celebrate Independence Day.  Public fireworks displays can be frightening to your pets.  Let them stay home in a quiet, safe, escape-proof area.

- For pets bothered by loud noises, keep them inside in a quiet room with no windows.  Background music playing can help calm them.

- Keep matches & lighter fluid out of pets' reach. Certain matches contain chlorates which can damage blood cells and result in difficulty breathing.

- Keep picnic foods away from pets as they can cause intestinal problems. Things like chocolate, onions, grapes, raisins, salt and yeast dough can all be toxic to pets.

- Make sure your pets are always wearing collars with current licenses tags and pet identification.  Lost and scared pets can't tell a person where they live unless they have proper ID.

- If your pet is lost or you find a stray, call the Animal Resource Center at 898-4457 and select option #1.

- If your pet is lost over the holiday weekend, it may be at the Animal Resource Center.  Visit us in person as soon as possible to find your pet.
