Don't Let the Fireworks Put You Out!
I hope everyone had a good 4th of July. I did, and like most people, I enjoy the fireworks.
But like most dogs, my dog does not!
Knowing that the fireworks would be coming later that evening, I proceeded with his usual 6 p.m. run. This allowed him to have a bowel movement so he wouldn't be uncomfortable during that time. I also had to take him out several times later that evening until he was relaxed enough to urinate.
Some would disagree with me and suggest that I should just leave the dog in the house overnight. That sure wouldn't feel very good to his bowels and bladders, poor thing!
Just remember - Fireworks or not, it's important to keep your pet on his or her routine as much as possible.
