🎆 Fireworks & Our Furry Friends 🎆
As firework season begins, let’s make sure our pets stay safe, calm, and comfortable ❤️
A few important tips:
🐾 Check gates and fences, frightened pets can bolt if startled. Make sure your garden is secure before letting them out.
🚶♀️ If your garden isn’t escape-proof, keep them on a lead for toilet breaks, even if it’s just for a quick wee.
💥 Fireworks can trigger the “fight or flight” response, so even calm dogs might panic or run.
🏡 Keep windows and doors closed, curtains drawn, and play calming music or the TV to help mask the noise.
🦴 Offer a treat, chew, or puzzle toy to distract and comfort them.
🧸 Create a safe den or quiet area with blankets and familiar smells where they can hide if they want to.
🦮 Anxiety vests or wraps can help some pets feel more secure.
💬 Stay calm yourself – pets pick up on our emotions, so keeping relaxed can really help reassure them.
📱 Make sure your pet’s ID tag and microchip details are up to date, just in case they do manage to escape.
Please share to help spread awareness and keep as many pets safe and sound this firework season 🐶
