Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:58 GMT

Even though personal fireworks are illegal in many cities, we know many people ignore the law around the July 4th holiday weekend.This means the sight and sound of crackling bottle rockets, Roman candles, flowers and sparklers – legal or illegal – will echo through neighborhoods for several nights, which poses a unique risk to dogs.There are two main reasons why man’s best friend is easily spooked by fireworks.The first is the most obvious.
