🚨🐾 A 4th of July Safety Reminder from K-9 Jax 🐾🚨

As we get ready to celebrate Independence Day, K-9 Jax wants to remind everyone that while fireworks are fun for people, they can be very stressful for our pets. 🎆🐾

Please take a moment to help keep your furry family members safe and calm:

✅ Bring pets indoors before fireworks begin
✅ Create a quiet, comfortable space away from windows
✅ Close curtains, doors, and windows to minimize noise and flashes
✅ Play soft music or turn on the TV to help mask the sounds
✅ Make sure collars and ID tags are secure and up to date

A few simple steps can prevent a scared pet from running away or becoming distressed.

K-9 Jax and our department wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July! Let’s keep our entire community — two-legged and four-legged — safe this holiday. 🇺🇸🐕💙
Berlin Police Department, Jan Gottesman
