Protect your furry friends from fireworks on New Year’s Eve
Fireworks tend to be overwhelming and cause anxiety in dogs.
As fireworks light up the night sky during New Year’s Eve, many dogs may feel anxious and stressed.
Keep your furry friend safe and comfortable with these simple tips:
1. Provide a safe space: Create a quiet room or area where your dog can retreat from the noise. Make sure it’s soundproofed and escape-proof.
2. Keep your dog indoors: Keep your dog indoors during fireworks displays to prevent escape attempts and exposure to loud noises.
3. Use calming aids: Utilise calming aids like pheromone diffusers, calming collars, or anti-anxiety medication (for this, you can consult with your vet).
4. Distract and divert: Engage your dog in play or provide treats to distract them from the fireworks noise.
5. Prepare your dog in advance: Desensitise your dog to fireworks sounds by playing recorded fireworks noises at low volumes before the New Year.
Remember, every dog is unique, so consult with your veterinarian for personalised advice on protecting your furry friend.
