Camp Bow Wow provides guidance on enjoying a secure and joyful Independence Day with canine companions

/PRNewswire/ -- The nation's upcoming 250th birthday looks set to feature outstanding Fourth of July festivities nationwide, and Camp Bow Wow, a premier pet care franchise, aims to help all family members including dogs enjoy the occasion safely and happily.

The American Animal Hospital Association notes a 30 to 60 percent rise in missing pets from July 4 through July 6 annually, with July 5 ranking as the peak day for shelter intakes. Given expanded parades, intensified fireworks displays and extended events planned across the country this year, Camp Bow Wow Training Specialist Molly Jespersen shares practical advice to help owners keep dogs secure, relaxed and included in the celebrations:

For dogs sensitive to loud sounds:

Prepare a safe indoor area equipped with white noise or soothing background music.
Use tools such as an anxiety wrap, calming pheromone products or a lick mat to ease tension.
Schedule an early walk to help expend excess energy ahead of the main activities.
Provide a snuffle mat or frozen snack to encourage quiet, positive engagement during evening hours.
Verify that identification tags remain up to date, readable and securely attached at all times.

For dogs that enjoy social gatherings:

Reach event locations early to claim a less crowded viewing area during parades or public functions.
Ensure dogs stay leashed with current ID tags visible throughout the outing.
Carry ample fresh water to maintain hydration.
Opt for a festive harness, themed leash or other celebratory accessories to mark the occasion.

Owners unable to remain home with a nervous dog or include their pet in public events can rely on Camp Bow Wow boarding options featuring indoor climate-controlled play areas and secure comfortable lodging. First-time visitors receive a complimentary initial day of care when booking through campbowwow.com.

"Independence Day ranks among our peak periods, and we take pride in supporting families who want peace of mind that their dogs are content and well cared for," Jespersen noted. "Simple advance preparation helps tremendously whether that involves setting up a tranquil home environment or arranging a stay with our team. Everyone deserves an enjoyable holiday and that includes dogs."
