| Chihuahuas Calm Amid Chaos |
June 28, 2007 |
You might be looking forward to the fanfare and fireworks of July 4th, but your Chihuahua dog probably takes a dimmer view of the boisterous celebration. To make the holiday safe and low stress for your best friend, take these precautions:
| • |
Keep your dog indoors and as far away from crowds and commotion as possible. Play some music, or turn on a TV or fan to drown out the loud booms and pops from fireworks. |
| • |
Talk to your vet about a sedative for an especially anxious pet. If you've seen your dog suffer before, a calming medication may take the edge off his fear. |
| • |
If you're planning to travel, boarding your dog may be the best way to avoid exposing him to chaos over which you have no control. |
Make sure your pet is wearing his collar and ID tags -- even if he has an identifying microchip -- in case your careful planning goes awry and he makes a run for it.
