SUMMARY: Fireworks can make the 4th of July stressful for pets, leading to many getting lost. Lance Warner from Price's Right fireworks stand advises against leaving pets outside during fireworks and recommends placing them in a quiet, safe spot indoors. Warner emphasizes the importance of reading and following fireworks instructions, using common sense, and ensuring children's supervision. Key safety tips include lighting fireworks on a hard, flat surface, avoiding windy conditions, keeping them away from dry brush and structures, and having water sources ready. Spent fireworks should be soaked in water before disposal. Avoid setting off fireworks near crowds and stay sober.
