NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Several veterinary clinics are closed this Tuesday to celebrate the Fourth of July, making it a hassle for those seeking healthcare for their pets.
Places like Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialist were busy as soon as they opened their doors on Tuesday. They claimed they saw more than double what they see on a regular day.
“[On] Fourth of July, we see a lot of animals that get hit by car. They get frightened because of the fireworks and other things going on throughout the day and especially at night” said Thrive Pet Outreach and Client Service Manager Menon Schwaebel.
