‼️READ CAPTION‼️

Loud or unexpected noises like fireworks can be frightening for many dogs. For an owner, seeing your best friend distressed can be upsetting. But don’t worry, there are several ways you can help your dog through it.

What to do during fireworks:

• Block out flashes and bangs. Close any windows or curtains and turn the lights on.

• Put on music or the TV to help disguise the noise. Try Classic FM radio or look for a dog soothing playlist – gentle piano tracks that help mask fireworks and soothe anxiety.

• If your dog wants to hide, let them stay where they feel safe. Try creating a safe place or a den where they can feel comfortable.

• If they seek reassurance, calmly give them attention and comfort. Try not to over fuss them as soon as the fireworks start as this can increase their anxiety. But also remember that research shows that ignoring them won’t help.

• Try to stay calm and relaxed yourself. Your dog will pick up on how you’re feeling, so do your best to relax.

• Don’t tell your dog off. If your dog makes a mess or does something you don’t want because of their fear, avoid telling them off. This might make them feel more scared.

• Make sure their water bowl is full and you feed them earlier in the evening. Also walk them earlier to avoid being out at the time of the fireworks.

• Keep your dog on a lead just incase, dogs can get frightened and run away. Also check that all their details and microchip numbers are up to date to be safe.

Talk to your vet
If your dog shows signs of fear of fireworks or loud noises, make an appointment with your vet as soon as possible to seek advice.

Grass seed warning ⚠️🌱

Do you know the dangers that grass seeds can cause? Their tiny arrowheads attach onto dogs - particularly breeds with longer fur. They can pe*****te their way into the skin, causing harmful injuries that could potentially require surgery.

Always check your dog's fur thoroughly after woodland walks or running through meadows. Monitor their behaviour by keeping an eye out for the warning signs of grass seeds - this could be head shaking, limping, coughing, sneezing, paw licking and lethargy.

If you spot a grass seed, gently remove it with your hands or tweezers - if its burrowed deeper (sometimes you may not even see it!), take your dog to the vet immediately.
