Total solar eclipse on April 8th in Western and Upstate New York prompts pet safety concerns for anxious dogs.

Total solar eclipse on April 8th in Western and Upstate New York sparks concerns for pet safety. Although dogs primarily rely on their senses of smell and hearing, not sight, experts advise pet owners to keep dogs on leashes, maintain routines, and keep them indoors during the eclipse to prevent potential anxiety and loss. While dogs may not be harmed by the eclipse itself, large crowds can cause stress and confusion.
