Don't forget about your pets this 4th of July

TRI-STATE (WFIE) -

Don't forget about your pets this 4th of July. The Kentucky Humane Society says more pets get hurt or lost during the 4th of July than any other time of the year.

To keep your pets safe, experts say leave pets at home during fireworks demonstrations, the loud booming of big shows can hurt their ears.

If you're celebrating at home, keep your pets inside with the windows closed and curtains pulled.

Make sure your pets have a collar with ID tags, and if you find a lost animal, take it to a local shelter right away so they can be reunited with its owners.
