Creating a Stress-Free 4th of July for Your Pets

The 4th of July is a time for celebration, but for our pets, the excitement and noise can be overwhelming. Fireworks, parties, and unfamiliar sounds can cause significant stress. Here’s a detailed guide to help you keep your furry friends calm and safe during this festive period.

1. Create a Safe Space
You can designate a quiet, comfortable area in your home where your pet feels secure. This could be a familiar room or a cozy corner with their favorite bed, toys, and a piece of your clothing to provide comfort through your scent.

• Soundproofing: Try to minimize noise by closing windows, drawing curtains, and playing soothing music or white noise.
• Visibility: Ensure that your pet cannot see the fireworks. The flashes of light can add to their anxiety.

2. Exercise Your Pet
A well-exercised pet is generally calmer and more relaxed.

• Take a Walk: Take your dog for a long walk earlier in the day to tire them out before the evening festivities begin.
• Play Games: Engage in play sessions using their favorite toys or activities that stimulate both their mind and body.

3. Use Essential Oils

Introducing Jordan Essentials’ Pet Calm.
Jordan Essentials’ Pet Calm is a specially formulated essential oil blend designed to help pets stay calm.

It’s crafted with natural ingredients known for their calming properties, making it a safe and effective option for reducing anxiety in pets.

How Pet Calm Helps:

• Lavender: Known for its soothing properties, lavender helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
• Chamomile: Calms the nervous system and induces a sense of tranquility.
• Frankincense: Grounding and stabilizing effects lessening anxiety.

When and How to Apply:

• Timing: Use Pet Calm about 30 minutes to an hour before the anticipated noise begins.
• Application Methods:
  • Diffusion: Use a pet-safe diffuser to disperse the aroma throughout the room. (Be sure your pet can leave the room if they choose.)
  • Topical Application: Dilute a few drops of Pet Calm with a carrier oil and gently massage it into your pet’s fur, especially around the neck and back areas. (Do not use topically on cats.)

You can purchase Pet Calm directly from the website and help your pet be calm all year long!

From Our Community

Sarah, a longtime customer, and Jordie shared her experience with Pet Calm and Chillax™. Her rescue dog, Max, was always terrified during fireworks. Last year, she tried Pet Calm and Chillax™ together, and Max stayed relaxed throughout the night. Sarah says, “It’s made such a difference in our celebrations. Max isn’t hiding under the bed anymore; he’s right there with us, calm and happy.”
