Most of the U.S. may be looking forward to Tuesday for dazzling displays of fireworks or setting off firecrackers and poppers with their neighbors. Those with furry, four-legged family members — maybe not so much. They're searching for solutions to the Fourth of July anxiety that fireworks bring. "I think it has to do with certain breeds. Obviously, hunting dogs are bred for that purpose and they don't typically have any issues with it. But a lot of other dogs, it seems to trigger a fight-or-flight response in them," DeGroff said.
If you don't have time to obtain veterinarian assistance, she suggests calming supplements or a ThunderShirt, a wrap that is supposed to feel like a gentle hug for the dog. A city animal shelter in Great Falls, 155 miles north of Butte, recently installed a 24/7 microchip scanning device to help people find lost dogs' owners even when the shelter is closed.
Those conversations are what led to the county's microchipping event. If you don't have time to get your pet microchipped, then at least write your contact information on their collar, Powell advises. Also, even if your property is enclosed, keep your dog on a leash.
