IF YOU'RE A PET OWNER WITH PLANS TO ATTEND A JULY 4TH CELEBRATION THIS WEEK …LEAVE YOUR PET AT HOME AND INDOORS. THAT FROM DESIREE CAWLEY WITH THE ALBUQUERQUE ANIMAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT. SHE SAYS HOLIDAYS LIKE JULY 4TH AND NEW YEAR'S ARE VERY STRESSFUL FOR ANIMALS. THEY SOMETIMES CAN BE SO FRIGHTENED BY THE LOUD NOISES THAT ACCOMPANY HOLIDAYS THAT THEY JUMP THROUGH A WINDOW.
CAWLEY TELLS US THAT YOU SHOULD LEAVE YOUR PET IN A WELL-LIT ROOM WITH THE TV OR RADIO ON TO MAKE IT FAMILIAR … AND A FAVORITE CHEW TOY TO DISTRACT THE ANIMAL. AND MAKE SURE THEIR TAGS AND MICROCHIPS ARE UP TO DATE IN CASE THEY BOLT AND GET OUT. CHECK THE ANIMAL SHELTERS LATER.
