CITY REMINDS CITIZENS – PETS AND FIREWORKS DON’T MIX

Extra Precaution Necessary for Pet Safety July 4, 2009

The City of Pocatello’s Animal Control Department is reminding citizens to take extra precautions this 4th of July to ensure the safety of their pets.

“The July 4th holiday weekend is the busiest time of the year at animal shelters,” said Animal Control Director Mary Remer. “The loud noises, smells and bright lights from fireworks
displays can easily scare pets. Many times pets are found miles from their homes, confused, disoriented, exhausted, and often times injured.”

The City encourages pet owners to take steps, like the ones listed below, to protect their pets the entire time it’s legal to discharge fireworks in Pocatello – June 28 through July 6.

1. Make sure the animal is wearing proper identification.

2. Don’t put pets outside to await your return home. Dogs left in backyards often get frightened and will climb or jump the tallest of fences. Dogs left on chains can snap the chain or injure themselves trying to get away. Please take extra steps to protect cats as well.

3. Pets don’t know it’s a holiday. For their sake, DO NOT take them with you to see the fireworks display. Secure pets in the house for the night.

4. If fireworks or loud noises upset your pet, make sure someone stays with them. There are instances where dogs have gone through glass windows to escape. Tranquilizing pets is an option, but always consult with your veterinarian first.

5. If you leave your pet in the care of a friend, make sure the friend is aware of the pet’s behavior, so they know what to expect, especially the night of July 4th. Make sure they know to contact Animal Control if they lose your pet. Making prior
arrangements for medical care is also a good idea.

Citizens who lose their pets or find one over the holiday weekend or anytime should immediately contact the Animal Control Department (Animal Shelter) at 234-6156. The Shelter will be open Friday, July 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. but will be closed Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July

For more information, please call 234-6156.
