Safeguard your pet from fireworks
Speak to your vet beforehand to prescribe something to calm your pet.
Pets and fireworks are not a great combination. Here are a few tips to lessen the torment they are put through:
Keep your pets safe and secure indoors
Avoid your pet escaping the property as this puts them at a greater risk of getting hit by a car.
Keep them busy
Keep your cat or dog busy by giving them treats and toys to play with; this will act as a distraction to the loud bangs.
Mask the noise
Calming music or even a TV programme at a reasonable volume can mask the loud noise of discharging fireworks.
Update their ID tags
If necessary, ensure your pet’s ID tag is updated so they can be easily reunited with you.
Safe place
If you have a spare room, draw the curtains and make it cosy and comfortable for them. A box with a fluffy blanket might also work.
Skip the celebration
If you know your pets suffers from extreme anxiety, skip celebrating and spend time with them or speak to your vet beforehand to prescribe something to calm your pet.
