On the Fourth of July there is an extremely high rate of dogs that go missing. That's because a lot of dogs get frightened by fireworks and run away to escape the source of their stress. While you're having a barbecue and celebrating don't forget your best friend. Please make sure your dog is wearing an Id tag or collar with name and address. Adding a microchip is even better.
Don't bring dogs out to watch fireworks displays. The explosive sounds and flashing lights could frightened your pup enough to cause him to slip out his collar and run away. And don't leave dogs outdoors unattended; even in a fenced-in yard your dog could panic and manage to find a way to escape and become lost.
We know that a dog's sense of hearing is so much more sensitive than ours, so to counteract the noise from the fireworks try some calming music. Finally, provide a cool, tiled surface, such as the kitchen for him to relax and calm down where it's cool.

Many veterinarians will prescribe medication. I'm against that, but you should check with your vet and do what you feel is best for your pooch.
Now go and have a Happy Fourth of July!
