The 4th of July can be stressful and traumatic for our pets. To help prepare for the festivities, we need to further understand how and why animals naturally react to fireworks.

Preparation is key to ensure that everyone in your pack stays safe. In the video below, Cesar explains some important tips and shows different examples that you can implement at home.
