A Reminder from SCRAPS this 4th of July | Events

Fireworks might be fun for humans, but they're not fun for pets. Today, Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services or SCRAPS warns pet owners to keep their four legged friends in a safe spot this 4th of July weekend.

SCRAPS says an owner's best bet is putting your pet in a safe place inside your house. Even if you think your yard is secure, SCRAPS says the loud noises scare some pets so badly they find a way to break out of the yard. It says it responds to dozens of calls during the 4th of scared pets running loose or cowering in odd places. It also advises against taking a pet to any fireworks show.

For more information on how to help your pets beat the holiday noise stress call SCRAPS at 477-2532.
