Did you know more dogs are lost on the Fourth of July than ANY other day of the year?
Here’s some facts:
• Animal controls reports over a 50% increase in the amount of lost pets between July 4-6 annually.
• Less than 14% of lost pets are successfully reunited with their owners.
• 30-60% of lost pets are euthanized when they cannot be identified.
• More dog bites occur on 4th of July than any other day of the year.
Keep your pup safe and at home this year. Don’t let your best friend become part of a statistic.
We are offering boarding for the weekend of the Fourth if needed!
