Independence Day Pet Safety
Quick steps to keep pets calm during fireworks and what to do if they run off.
Fireworks often cause panic in pets; keep them indoors with a safe room or crate, close windows and doors, and use a TV or radio to muffle noise. Provide treat toys, stay with them if possible, ensure ID tags and microchip contact info are up to date, snap a current photo, clear firework debris after the celebration, and call Strasburg Borough Police Department at 717-664-1180 if a pet is lost or turned in.
