Laurie Fass covers a range of pet safety concerns, focusing first on the ongoing issue of fireworks from June through early September, which can cause extreme stress for pets and wildlife. She shares practical tips for keeping animals calm and safe, emphasizing that more dogs go missing during this time than any other due to fear from loud noises. Laurie also discusses the growing bear population in Connecticut and the potential danger they pose to pets, especially when dogs are left off leash. She strongly advises keeping pets leashed and secured to prevent them from getting lost, startled, or injured. Additionally, she offers guidance on choosing secure collars and harnesses to ensure pets can't slip out. She also warns against using poison for rodent control, noting that it can unintentionally harm pets and other wildlife if they ingest poisoned rodents.
