4th of July Safety Tips
More pets get lost and go missing on the 4th of July than any other day in the U.S. Making July 5th the busiest day for animal shelters across the nation.
Here are some safety tips to help keep your dog safe this 4th of July:
- Make sure you dog has up to date ID tags on their collar. Even if they have been microchip, not everyone has a scanner to read the chip.
- Exercise you dog early that day. This will help them from having excess energy when the fireworks start that evening.
- If you are going to any parties, leave your dog at home. They will be more comfortable in a familiar place.
- Lower you blinds to help your dog from seeing the bright lights the fireworks give off. You can also add background noise by playing the tv or radio .
- Escape-proof you house and add a comfortable space for them.
- Provide interactive toys or treat dispensers, such as peanut butter stuffed kongs.
- Mircochip your dog just in case they do get lost and their collar comes off.
- Calming collars, lavender oils, and pressure wraps can help your pup with anxiety. I love my herbal calming collar, here is the direct link if you want to learn more.
If your dog does suffer from anxiety make sure to talk with you veterinarian about the best options for your dog.
***Warning***
As most of you know, I came from the land of 10,000 lakes. That’s right, Minnesota. We are known for being Minnesota Nice, but there are some in Minnesota that are being down right evil to dogs. Please click on the photo below for the full story.
Your back yard is suppose to be a safe place where your dog is suppose to wear off they winter energy. So hearing that they are putting deadly items in the owns back yards is so scary.
With the weather getting nice and you go out and about more, please keep an eye on your dog. You just never know what is out there.
TT: Pet Store
My week long segment continues with testing out my new Solvit Deluxe Car Safety Harness. Today we are going to the local pet store where I’m in need of more food.
My food of choose is Fromm’s. Fromm’s is a family owned company bases out of Wisconsin.
While I was at the pet store, I jumped on the scale. Can you guess how much my fluffy body weighs in at?
As I stated in yesterdays post, today I’m going to show you how the Solvit Products Deluxe Car Safety Harness works in the car.
The major feature that I love about this product in the car is that it gives you options. There are two different ways you are able to attach the safety vest to the seat belt. It all depends on how much “free range” you want your pet to have.
In the photo above is considered the safest method. As you can see in the photo, you make a circle looping through the twin harness loops and around the seat belt. This method provides the least amount of movement but is the safest in case of an emergency.
The second method, you simply wrap the safety tether around the seat belt bringing the carabineer through the loop. Then simply attach the carabineer to the twin harness loops. This method provides the most range of motion for you dog.
One of the top reasons my humans love having me in a harness, they are able to focus more on the road and less on what I’m getting into.
Thank you for stopping by today, stay tuned for tomorrows post to see more adventures I’ve taken since getting the Solvit Products: Deluxe Car Safety Harness.

Solvit Products: Deluxe Car Safety Harness
Hello Everyone, I’m back!
This week I’m excited to share with you a new product I’m testing out. That product is the Solvit Products: Deluxe Car Safety Harness.
My humans have been looking into getting me a “doggy seat belt” for some time now and jumped on this opportunity.
All week I will be sharing with you the adventures, or as I like to call them “Spencer’s Pit Stops,” I have gone on since getting this Car Safety Harness. But, today I’m just sharing with you my review of all the features this product provides.
The Deluxe Car Safety Harness comes in an informative box that shows you many of the features this harness provides. As you can see the harness I was provided was a size large, which fits my fluffy, furry body. This harness comes in sizes from small to extra large.
One of the first thing my human wanted to check out was the loops where the car seat attachment connects to the harness. I loved how thoroughly this loops are sewn in.
Tomorrow, I will talk more about how to attach the harness to the seat belt.
Check out this fully padded vest. Not only is it comfortable, but the mesh liner also makes it breathable. This feature will be great in the summer time when it gets hot out. For now, I can only dream about warmer weather. The only color this harness comes in is blue. I, however, do love the blue color this harness comes in.
The next major feature my humans check out was the adjustment. Having two adjustment straps made it more possible for the harness to fit my body securely.
Another great feature is this convenient attachment point for a walking leash. This feature makes this product great in and out of the car. Unfortunately, my humans make me wear a gentle leader. But, those dogs who wear harness, this is a two for one product.
Like I said earlier, stay tuned all week to see more of my adventures with the Deluxe Car Safety Harness and Spencer’s Pit Stops.

WW: Halloween Tricks
I just love when people come to my house. And I do my best to greet them with as much enthusiasm as possible. I mean, who doesn’t want to feel welcome. Now here is the tricky part, my house is in the prime trick or treating spot in town. We average anywhere between 150-175 little humans running up to my house on Halloween. So, how do my humans keep me in the house and make sure the goodies go out without any problems…..
A Baby Gate!
That’s right, a baby gate. Every year my humans set up a baby gate at our front door. After setting it up we decorate it with spooky fabrics, chains, and lights to get it looking festive.
And there you have it, candy going out and unfortunately I’m staying in. But don’t worry I still greet them with a smiling face and a wagging butt and in return the kids spoil me with a pat on the head.
Do you have any tricks you use on Halloween to help make the night easier with your dogs? Please share, I would love to hear about them.
