If this is your first Fourth of July in Benbrook and you’ve got a dog that’s skittish around loud noises, it’s smart to prepare.
While fireworks are technically illegal inside city limits, many residents still set them off. Some neighborhoods stay fairly quiet, while others—especially on long weekends like this one—can feel like a backyard show.
Most activity kicks off around dusk and can last until 11 p.m., with occasional bursts continuing into the early morning hours. Expect the noise to start a few days before the Fourth and linger for a few days after.
Locals suggest using white noise machines, fans, and veterinarian-prescribed medications to help calm nervous pets.
If things get out of hand, Fort Worth Police Department has a dedicated fireworks tip line. Every year varies, but being prepared can help you and your dog enjoy the holiday a little more peacefully.
