Solar eclipses are big news right now. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the Earth and the sun, temporarily blocking the sun's light. On its expected path from Texas to New England, people on the ground will experience several minutes when the sun is completely blocked by the moon. Thousands of people say they will travel to the area to experience this rare event. Even people who are not in the direct path of a total solar eclipse can still see a partial solar eclipse.
Some people are preparing for this celestial event by planning their trips without any idea where they will be staying. Sales of special “eclipse glasses” that allow you to see the sun without damaging your eyes are very high.
So how does this affect our furry friends? In fact, solar eclipses themselves usually have little effect on animals. They don't tend to look at the sun anyway, so unless you encourage them to look up during the eclipse, they'll be fine. You can even buy eclipse glasses for your pet.
The most dangerous area for pets during a solar eclipse is on the ground. Tens of thousands of people are expected to flock to the area to experience the total solar eclipse. With so many people and vehicles, authorities fear a repeat of the massive traffic jams that occurred during the last solar eclipse, which clogged roads and cut off traffic for hours. . This means your pet may be stuck in the car for much longer than you expected, so be sure to have plenty of water and food for your buddy, a suitable collar or harness, and a leash.
To keep your pet from getting scared by large crowds of excited people or strangers, consider the following: The safest place for pets during a solar eclipse is indoors or at home with their owners. After all, when talking about pets, you're always a bright spot for your furry companion.
