๐๐พ Fireworks Season Is Here ๐พ๐
While fireworks are fun for us, they can be frightening for our pets.
Here are some simple ways to help keep your pets calm and comfortable:
โจ Create a safe space
Set up a quiet, cosy area indoors with familiar bedding, toys, and blankets. Close curtains and doors to reduce noise and flashes.
If they arenโt able to stay inside please ensure they are wearing a collar with your contact details and that their microchip details are up to date!
๐ต Use background noise
Soft music, TV, or white noise can help mask sudden loud bangs.
๐ฆด Distractions help
Food puzzles, lick mats, or long-lasting treats can help redirect anxious energy and provide comfort. Pop into clinic to have a look at the range we have available!
๐ง Consider calming aids
Products like ThunderShirts as well as Adaptil (for dogs) and Feliway (for cats) can help take the edge off anxiety. These work best when started before fireworks begin, so plan ahead where possible. (Adaptil/feliway are stocked in clinic)
๐ง Stay calm and reassuring
Your pet looks to you for cues keep your voice calm and offer comfort without reinforcing fear.
๐ Plan ahead if needed
If your pet has a history of severe anxiety, chat to our team and book in for an appointment to discuss further treatment options.
We want your furry family members safe, calm, and supported as we welcome the new year ๐ถ๐ฑโจ
