The Fourth of July – also known as Independence Day or July 4th – was declared a United States holiday in 1941, 165 years after delegates from 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson (Source: History.com). From that day forward, communities have celebrated July 4th as the birth of American Independence, with stunning fireworks displays and family friendly festivities.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July! Also, if pertinent, remember to keep your pets safe by ensuring they are comfortably secured inside during the displays. If they fear loud noises, leave gentle music playing to help calm them. You should make sure your pets have ID tags with up-to-date information and are microchipped as well; just in case.
