A Word About Pets & Fireworks
At Canalside Inn, we love your four-legged family members—but fireworks and pups don’t mix. Please consider your pet’s safety over the holiday weekend. Fireworks can cause panic, and more pets go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year.
- Leave dogs secured indoors during shows.
- Close windows and turn on white noise to ease anxiety.
- While dogs are allowed on Lewes Beach after 6:30 PM (on leash), it’s safest to keep them home.
