Celebrating Independence & Freedom

Happy 4th of July To Our American Friends

 

Independence Day is the National Day of the United States honoring freedom.

History of Independence Day

Independence Day also referred to as the Fourth of July or July 4th in the U.S., is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.  On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire.

Independence Day is a day of celebration commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.

Pet Safety Tips

National holidays like July 1st in Canada and July 4th can be dangerous or frightening for pets who don’t like the sound of fireworks. Some can become very frightened and can be dangerous if not handled with care. Be sure to keep your pet happy during the festivities by keeping them inside and distracted.

Kilo loves to stay cuddled up on the couch with toys and treats for the night.

We recommend plenty of early walks during the day to help tire your dog out for the evening. From Our Patriotic Pooches To Yours, Happy 4th of July!
