Fireworks Display Notification

Lot 22 Maitland Street Muswellbrook (Showgrounds)

🎆 Don’t underestimate what your dog will do to escape the fireworks.
🎆 Don’t tie your dog up.
🎆 Don’t take your dog to see the fireworks or to a party where you believe fireworks may be let off

✅ Bring your dog inside
✅ Set your dog up in a quiet room. The room should have a bed, water, food and toys. Play some soothing music for your dog.
✅ Take your dog for a long walk before the fireworks start or before you leave for your party.
✅ Consult your vet if your dog has a history of anxiety.
✅ Set your dog up with a nice big juicy bone.
✅ Check out the local boarding kennels for any spaces that maybe available over the night.
✅ Ask a trusted friend or family relative that might be able to pet sit overnight.
✅ Consider staying at home with your dog.
✅ REMEMBER: an up to date microchip along with a collar and tag with your contact details will go a long way in returning your pet home if they do become frightened and try to escape the fireworks.

🐾 The same goes for other pets such as cats, guinea pigs, birds, horses. There are a bunch of websites that offer some great advice on how to keep your pets safe during fireworks. As humans we know what fireworks are, as animals they do not.

💥💥 Check out the below website to find out where displays are still programmed. Unfortunately, this does not cover the problematic and dangerous illegal fireworks that are set off in backyards and paddocks. 📞 If this occurs in your neighbourhood, please call your local police station or 000.

🤬 If you are one of those people that decides backyard fireworks would be a great idea, please feel free to join the number of broken hearted pet owners in your neighbourhood the next day who are looking for their scared animals that ran during your ‘great idea’. 🤦‍♂️

🎓🐾 EDUCATION AT THE HUB 🌱🎓

The Muswellbrook Animal Care and Sustainability Hub were pleased to host students from the Denman Public School.

Students learned valuable lifestyle lessons regarding:

🌱Living sustainably
🌱Creating home fruit and veggie gardens
🌱How to use the different types of household bins
🌱Native gardening
🌱Chooks, compost and worm farms

🦘 The students also became world famous Native Garden Explorers, finding all the native Australian animals that could be hiding in their own backyard at home.

🐾 Students met Moto Moto (the cat so nice you have to say his name twice) and Chase the Educating collie. Chase helped the studenta learn how to safely approach and interact with dogs. As part of the animal safety program, the students also learned how to care for dogs and cats.

As this was such a big day, Council was helped out by Wendy (volunteer extraordinaire), Erin from Beyond Dog Training and Jess from PPG Australia.

🏡We hope the students were able to go home and implement what they learned in their own household.



🌱🐾 Please recycle and be kind to animals
