SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and that means fireworks.

Here is a list of tips to help keep your pet calm and safe during the holiday:

• It’s best you don’t take your pets outdoors to an event with you.
• Keep them indoors, even if they typically live outside.
• Make indoors as quiet as possible
• Put on some ambient noise, such as radio or television.
• Close the blinds to minimize any light.
• Make sure that if you do take your pets outside, they are microchipped.
• At the very least, make sure that they are wearing an ID tag with your current address and phone number.
• You can also request medication from the vet to help calm your pet down.

We hope this helps your furry friends this weekend!
