Summer Dog Safety Tips: Fireworks, Holidays, and Healthy Treats

At Nature’s Animals® and The Bone Company®, we know your dogs are more than pets, they’re family. As we head into summer celebrations like Fourth of July and beach weekends, it's important to protect our pups from seasonal stressors like fireworks, travel, and party foods. From fireworks anxiety in dogs to holiday pet safety, we’re here to help you keep your furry friend safe, calm, and tail-wagging happy.

Here are essential summer safety tips for dogs, plus how our all-natural, oven-baked treats can support your pet during summer festivities.

Fireworks Safety for Dogs: What Every Pet Parent Should Know

1. Skip DIY Fireworks and Choose Professional Displays
Public fireworks shows are a fun way to enjoy the season without exposing your pup to unpredictable noise and danger. Keep your dog indoors and comfortable during the show with a Nature’s Animals® Barnyard Buddies. It’s long-lasting, delicious, and keeps them focused on something other than loud bangs.

2. Create a Calm, Safe Space Indoors
Designate a quiet, escape-proof room where your dog feels secure. Add soft bedding, familiar toys, and leave a few Fit Bits training treats around the area. Sniffing out treats provides natural mental enrichment and distracts them from external noise.

3. Stay Calm and Reassuring
Your dog will look to you for cues. Stay composed, speak gently, and offer physical reassurance. Give them a Big Bite bone to help them focus and relax. This slow-baked 8-inch treat keeps jaws busy and nerves calm.

Keeping Dogs Safe on Holidays

Beware of Unfamiliar Foods
Holiday gatherings often involve a wide variety of food and drinks. Keep your pet away from human treats that could be toxic or cause digestive upset, such as chocolate, grapes, onions, and alcoholic beverages.

Beware of Travel Stress
Traveling with your pet can be exciting, but it can also be stressful. Ensure their carrier is comfortable and secure, and take frequent breaks for walks and potty breaks. Our Sweet Potatoes & Honey Snacker Packs are perfect for rewarding good behavior during holiday travel.

Maintain Their Routine
As much as possible, stick to your pet's regular feeding and walking schedule during holidays. This will help them feel more secure and prevent any digestive issues.
