fireworks aren't just a legal and some cities. they can also be pretty problematic for your pets. right now, we are joined by micah mckechnie and she is a behavior and training specialist with the east bay spca. and she's here on some tips. >> to help keep your pets com make it through. i know that we lost a pet one time one 4th of july. so it's something that touches my quite closely. so please help us what is the one thing that you really like to share with people to take into consideration? when talk about the 4th of july. it's great, but it's loud. >> absolutely thank you so much for having me. i think if there was one take away message that you can really use to keep your pet safe. but during this 4th of july weekend, keep them inside and make sure that if the worst should happen, they have dented the cajun on multiple forms of identification are

both color with up to the information on that as well microchips microchips are really, really essential. and i can't tell you how hard it is when do get a stray animal in her chair, we're able to reunite them very quickly and efficiently with their humans because they have that microchipped very quick and easy. it's generally fairly inexpensive. i believe it's only $20 come in and get your membership without. so that's number but number 2, i think definitely there's a lot of things that we can do to help prepare pets we know maybe are not feeling super good about the upcoming holiday they hear fireworks are very fearful. there are many things can do to help them feel more comfortable in your living space. number keep them inside. that's definitely a big one. we want to make sure that all exits and entrances are secured so that if noise goes off, there's a sponsored

panic response easily get to the outside and get confused, disoriented and so securing entrances and exits and whether you're talking dogs or cats, because cats definitely are affected by this making sure they have a safe sanctuary space to be able to all that setting areas up in your home is pretty easy >> crates are a fantastic way. just keeping them nice and open. you can soundproof d i y things like comforters but making sure that they have the choice to go to a place that feels safe for we often recommend setting up several feet. so want to set of a back lighting or like i said, craig, if you've got cats, what i personally like to do, it might have to set up lots of accessible hiding spots in areas that wherever they are in the house, they can quickly access if something is going to start of them. definitely it so white noise can help

depending on your area. all that one of the big factors of how scary these lawyers are. of course, even if you're farther away from them is how startling there. so there's some background noise that can help mitigate that was often very, very helpful as well. >> and the one i i think that we we know that a lot of people adopted pets during the pandemic. so this could be the first go-around that those owners are going to have this holiday. so that said, michael, what do you think it? it is maybe best practices to stay home with the pet because you're not exactly sure how they may be responding to these loud noises. absolutely interested. that's definitely one of the things try to advocate for as much as possible. if you happy with your animal, it's best if you don't know how they're going to react during this though, some of us may have been getting a preview over the past few weeks, especially live in oakland. there has been some noise, but if you
