Your dog can enjoy the 4th this year.
Smoke bombs are the silent, red-white-blue alternative to fireworks — all the celebration, none of the bangs that send your best friend trembling under the bed.
My dog gets insanely scared of fireworks, so we've opted for smoke bombs this year!

- No booms
- Non-toxic cool burn
Just color.
For your dog, the 4th is the scariest night of the year.
It's not the lights. It's the sound. Concussive booms and screaming whistles read as danger to an animal that can't understand why the sky is exploding.
“It's an alternative to fireworks because my dog gets terrified from loud bangs and explosives.”
— John A., on why he made the switchThe firework show. Minus the fireworks.
You still get red, white and blue lighting up the yard for the photos and the grins — your dog just gets to stay calm through all of it.
No bangs. No booms.
There's no explosive charge. Pull the wire ring and the canister simply releases dense color — no concussion, no whistle, none of the noise that triggers the panic.
Red, white & blue, on cue
Every ’Merica Pack ships an even mix of red, white and blue. Each grenade blooms ~60 seconds of thick, vibrant smoke — long enough to fill the frame and the front yard.
Cool-burn & non-toxic
No open flame, no shells raining down, no smoldering debris in the grass for curious paws to find. CE-approved and ATF-compliant.
Backyard-friendly
No mortar tubes, no aerial fallout, no waiting for the city show. You light it, you control it, and it stays right where you are.

Real words from verified Shutter Bombs customers.
They scare the dogs, so when I saw your ad I thought this might be a cool alternative for the 4th of July.

These made our 4th of July an awesome experience for our 2 and 3 year old children. Vibrant color, little residue, it's safe and lasts a long time.
Exactly what I was hoping for. The hit of the neighborhood for the 4th — kids loved running around with clouds of smoke drowning out the sparklers.
Loved these for celebrating the 4th. The colors are amazing and the smoke is so thick. So much fun!
Questions from dog people.
Are smoke bombs really quieter than fireworks?
Yes. There's no explosive charge — you pull a wire ring and the canister releases dense colored smoke. No bang, no boom, no screaming whistle. The concussive noise is exactly the part that panics most dogs, and it's the part we removed.
Is the smoke safe to use around my dog?
Our formula is non-toxic and cool-burning, with no open flame. Like any smoke, though, no pet should breathe a dense plume directly — use it outdoors in open air and keep your dog a comfortable distance away and upwind. Done that way, it's a calm, debris-free alternative to mortar shells going off overhead.
Will the smoke stain my dog, my hands, or the patio?
The cool-burn formula rinses off skin and out of most fabrics with soap and water. Keep the canister moving and stay downwind and cleanup is a non-issue.
How many do I need?
The ’Merica Pack comes in 6, 12, 18, 24 or 30 — always an even mix of red, white and blue, each burning ~60 seconds. A 6-pack covers a backyard moment; the 18-pack ($225) ships free.
When should I order for the 4th?
Smoke products ship hazmat ground and leave our U.S. warehouse in 1–3 business days, so order at least a week ahead of the holiday. We ship to the contiguous U.S. (except Massachusetts; Alaska and Hawaii are not currently available).
