Booms, Blasts, & Backyard BBQs: Keep Pets Safe This Summer with BuddyID
Estimated 0 min read
Summer has arrived, bringing along the familiar sights and sounds of fireworks, festivals, and backyard barbecues. While we enjoy the longer evenings and the aroma of freshly cut grass, our pets may have a different experience—one filled with stress, fear, and an instinctual desire to escape.
Enjoy a peaceful summer knowing your pet is protected. At BuddyID, our mission is to provide peace of mind for the entire family, no matter what summer throws your way. Ensure your pet's safety by proactively preparing and protecting them with the security of a BuddyID microchip.
Fireworks & Thunderstorms: A Pet’s Worst Nightmare
The sudden, booming sounds of fireworks and the rumbling of summer thunderstorms can send even the calmest pet into a state of panic.
How to protect them:
- Keep pets safely indoors during fireworks and storms, ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely latched.
- Designate a quiet room as their comfort zone, complete with your pet’s favorite blankets and toys.
- Double-check that your pet’s BuddyID microchip information is up-to-date in your account.
Backyard BBQ Hazards: Watch Out!
Barbeques are a summer staple, but for curious pets, these gatherings can bring hidden dangers. From sizzling surfaces to fallen food, it’s crucial to be aware of the risks. Many of our favorite cookout foods are toxic to pets. Be vigilant and keep these out of your pet’s reach:
- Toxic foods: chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, chives, and the artificial sweetener Xylitol
- Cooked bones, corn cobs, & skewers are choking hazards that can splinter and cause severe puncture wounds
- Open flames & hot surfaces: An open grill lid, hot coals, or even grease drippings can cause severe burns to sensitive paws and noses
