Pro Tip: We hope it never happens, but if your pup does get lost… Bring an item of clothing covered with your scent and set it down in the last place you saw him or her.

Bone-sniffing dogs to hunt for Amelia Earhart's remains.

A few ways to prepare for this Independence Day: Stay cool & secure. If staying indoors, keep your home cool, doors secure and a safe place for your pup, such as a crate, accessible. Stay calm. Your pup feeds off of your emotions. If you’re good, they’re good. Try playing music or leaving the TV on to drown out the noise outside. Stay close. If going outdoors, do not leave your pup unsupervised, even in a fenced yard — frightened dogs, startled by loud fireworks and firecrackers, are more likely to jump fences to try and escape the noise. Stay ready. And if you don’t plan on being home with your pup, make sure your pup’s ID tags and microchip are up-to-date.
