Prepare your pets for the loud noises and revelry this 4th of July. The SPCA of Northern Nevada is asking all pet owners to leave their pets at home, if you’re planning a night enjoying fireworks. Put them in a comfortable and sheltered area away from outside noise and lights. Playing a radio with relaxing music can also mask the sound of fireworks. Make sure your fence is intact, so your pet can’t escape, because shelters see a sharp uptick in strays in the days following the 4th.
