Though the world seems to be opening up again not all of the large gatherings have come back. There are definitely fun and local ways to celebrate Independence Day and see a great fireworks show. If you are going to make your own fireworks show, be sure to check your local laws in regards to fireworks. Also, consider the 4 legged pals in your neighborhood and be sure they are safely inside. The 4th is one of the highest days that pets go missing from being scared by fireworks. Check out this blog to see some tips to keep your dog safe and calm on the 4th of July.
