Collaboration before the Celebration

🎆 Fireworks are coming… and if your dog or cat struggles every July, don’t wait until July 3rd to make a plan.

My “Collaboration Before the Celebration” 4th of July Protocol is all about starting now to help support a calmer, safer holiday for your animal.

Think:

• a quiet, dark safe space

• calming music or white noise

• pet-safe essential oils such as clary sage, chamomile, frankincense, copaiba, or vetiver

• calming herbals like valerian, skullcap, passionflower, or California poppy

• extra play, walks, and enrichment during the day to help take the edge off before the fireworks start

The goal isn’t just to “get through” the 4th. It’s to support the nervous system before the panic hits.

If your pet has a history of fireworks anxiety, start preparing now. A little planning in June can make a big difference in July. 💙🐾
