ππΎ TOP TIPS FOR DOGS ON FIREWORK NIGHT! πΎπ
Bonfire Night can be a scary time for our four-legged friends. Those loud bangs and flashing lights can be overwhelming, so here are some top tips to help keep your pups safe and comfortable this firework season! β€οΈ
πΆ 1. Walk early β Take your dog for their walk before it gets dark and fireworks begin. Keep them on a lead, even if theyβre usually great off-lead.
π‘ 2. Create a safe space β Make a cosy den with blankets, their favourite toys and somewhere they feel safe to hide.
π΅ 3. Mask the noise β Put the TV or calming music on to help drown out the sound of fireworks.
πͺ 4. Close curtains and windows β This helps reduce noise and block out flashing lights.
β€οΈ 5. Stay calm and comfort them β If your dog wants cuddles, give them cuddles! Reassure them and let them know theyβre safe.
πΎ 6. Keep them indoors β Avoid taking your dog outside during fireworks. Make sure doors, windows and gates are secure to prevent any escape attempts.
𦴠7. Keep them distracted β Try a favourite chew, a lick mat or a puzzle toy to keep their minds occupied.
π 8. Check their ID β Make sure their microchip details are up to date, just in case they get frightened and escape.
π 9. Speak to your vet β If your dog struggles with fireworks, your vet can advise on suitable calming support.
Remember, every dog is different. Some may want to hide away, while others may need a little extra reassurance. Let them do what makes them feel safest. πΎ
