Pet owners are urged not to bring their pets to crowded events or fireworks shows due to the potential for anxiety and distress. When traveling with pets, a secure crate or carrier is essential, along with a leash for added safety. It is also crucial for owners to be aware of the nearest veterinarian or animal shelter in case of emergencies. Under no circumstances should pets be left in cars during events, as they can quickly overheat.
