- Make sure all pets always have their collars and ID tags.  In case they got frighten and run off, people can still contact you when they found them.

- If fireworks are being set off nearby, find a quiet, secure place to keep your dog.  Darkening the room or crating can help.  You can also close the curtains and turn up the radio, CD player or TV to drown out the noise.

- Do not leave your dog outside, a frighten dog will do anything and it could jump and cause injury to them.
