🐾🎆Loud and sudden noises can make cats anxious and stressed, so fireworks season can be a tough time for our feline friends.

🐾Get them microchipped
Before fireworks season begins, get your pet microchipped and, if they already are, check your contact details are up to date. This is really important as it gives you the best chance of being reunited with your cat if they become spooked and get lost amid the bangs and crashes.

🏠Keep them inside
Make sure your cat stays inside at night during firework season. Check the dates and times of local displays so you know when to keep your cat in. If your cat is used to going outside, provide a litter tray.

🐾Block off cat flaps to stop them from getting outside and to help muffle the sound of bangs and zips.

📺Background noise and light
You can help to block out the noise of fireworks by switching on the TV or radio, if your cat is already used to the sound, but make sure it’s not too loud.

Closing the curtains or blacking out windows will help to block out the sight of bright flashes.

🐾Let them do their thing
Let your cat pace around inside your home and meow if they want to. If your cat finds a den to hide in, for example under the bed, don’t try to coax them out – your cat is trying to find safety and shouldn’t be disturbed.

🐾Don't leave them alone
Avoid leaving your pet alone during such potentially upsetting events, especially during the week around Bonfire Night. If you do have to leave the house, don’t get angry with your cat if they have toileted after being left on their own. Shouting at a frightened cat will only make it more stressed.

🐾Stay calm
Although it’s difficult when it’s obvious your cat is stressed, try not to let them know you are worried as it may make the problem worse. Stay calm and act normally. This might be hard to do if you are worried about your pet, but it will help your pet if they see that you are not concerned. It’s OK to cuddle and stroke your cat if it helps them relax, but if they prefer to hide under your bed, then let them do this instead.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
A change in your cat's urination pattern can be a sign of stress. If your cat is urinating more frequently than usual, straining to urinate, has blood in their urine, or is trying to urinate but not passing any urine, then you should contact your vet as this may be something more serious.

🎆🐾How to keep your dog happy during fireworks

It’s never a good idea to take your dog to a fireworks display. Even if they don’t whimper at the noise, it doesn’t mean they are happy. Panting and yawning are both signs that indicate your dog is stressed.

Take a look at the following advice to help keep your dog calm during fireworks:

🕰️Early walks
It’s a good idea to time walks earlier in the day before the fireworks start. Keep your dog on-lead if you think fireworks will be let off.

🏠Keep them indoors
Always keep your dog indoors when fireworks are being let off. Don’t tie your dog up outside while fireworks are being let off, eg outside a shop while you pop inside, or leave them in the garden or alone in the car.

📺Background noise
Switching the TV or radio on at a slightly increased volume might help to muffle the sound, but make sure it’s not too loud and do not try this if your dog is not used to noises from the television.

Dogs show they are stressed or anxious in lots of ways, including:
▫️panting excessively
▫️drooling
▫️shaking
▫️yawning
▫️putting their tail between their legs

Although it’s difficult to stay calm when your pet is stressed, try not to let your dog know you are worried as it may make the problem worse. Stay calm and act normally. It’s OK to cuddle and stroke your pet if it helps them relax, but if they prefer to hide under your bed, then let them do this instead.

You can also help your dog by:
▫️Letting them pace around, whine and hide in a corner if they want to. Once they have found a safe space try not to disturb them.
▫️Allowing them to hide in a den where they can feel safe and comfortable when loud noises are all around. This could be under your bed or behind the sofa.
placing some of your clothes in the den which may help to keep your pet calm

🐾It goes without saying that you should never shout at your pet. If you have to leave your house during firework season and come home to find your dog has been destructive or toileted, don’t get angry with them. This won’t help and will also make your dog more stressed.

🐾Make sure your dog is microchipped and your information is up to date so your dog can be returned to you if they are spooked by fireworks and run off. They should be wearing an ID tag with the owner’s name and address displayed.

With the most spooktacular time of the year just around the corner, we have pulled together a Halloween survival guide to help keep pets happy. 🐾👻

While lots of us will enjoy Halloween, it can be a stressful time for pets. With more knocks on the door, people dressed up, and visitors coming into your home, pets could be left feeling unsettled.

Here’s our Halloween survival guide to help keep pets happy and prevent any cat-astrophes. 👇🏼

🍫 Keep Halloween treats out of paws’ reach
Chocolate is poisonous to pets as it contains a toxic chemical called theobromine. Even a small amount of chocolate can be fatal. Sweets can also be dangerous for pets if they have the sweetener xylitol (birch sugar). As we stock the cupboards with tasty Halloween-themed treats, make sure all sweets and wrappers are kept well away from pets.

🎃 Move candle-lit pumpkins away from pets
If one of your favourite Halloween traditions is to carve a pumpkin, ensure carving tools and lit candles are well away from furry friends. Candle-lit pumpkins may look spooktacular, but to prevent any curious pets from burning their noses this Halloween, keep them out of paws’ reach. Once the holiday is over, don’t forget to dispose of pumpkins safely to prevent your pet from gobbling gone off or mouldy pumpkins.

🐾 Don’t dress up pets
While we might like to dress up in scary costumes, most pets don’t. Costumes can make pets feel stressed and uncomfortable. Our four-legged friends are adorable just as they are, so our advice would be to steer clear of Halloween costumes for pets.

🦇 Hang Halloween decorations out of pets’ reach
Many cats and dogs love to play with dangly decorations. However, if they get hold of them, they could end up chewing and swallowing something harmful, leading to serious problems such as a gut blockage. Make sure you hang spooky decorations out of pets’ reach.

⛺️Make a den
If you’re having a Halloween party or in a neighbourhood that gets lots of trick-or-treaters, help your pet feel calm and secure by making them a den in a quiet corner away from the activity.

🍬 Leave treats for trick-or-treaters outside
Knocks on the door and unfamiliar people approaching your house can make some pets feel anxious, especially if they’re not used to visitors. This Halloween, why not place a “help yourself” bucket filled with sweet treats outside your front door or at the bottom of your drive? That way, trick-or-treaters can help themselves to sweets without unsettling your pet. It’s a good idea to make sure your treat box has a secure lid, so other pets in the neighbourhood can’t help themselves.

🌙 Be home before dark
To avoid stress in dogs, take them for walkies before it goes dark. Trick-or-treaters in costume and loud music from parties can be scary for our pets, so it’s best to be at home with them before Halloween activities start.

For cats, encourage them to come home earlier by moving their dinner time to before it gets dark outside. And make sure you have beds and litter trays if you’re shutting the cat flap for the evening.

Close the curtains and windows if there’s lots of noise outside. If your pet seems worried or anxious, it might be better to avoid going out and leaving them alone.

Now that we're officially entering Autumn, here are some hazards to look out for in order to keep your cats safe 🍂 👇🏼

🪰Harvest mites - In autumn, these tiny insects climb up long grass, bushes and trees waiting to sink their fangs into something warm-blooded. Signs of infestation can include skin inflammation or scratching.

🍄Mushrooms and toadstools - Some wild mushrooms are highly toxic and if swallowed can cause kidney and liver failure. Try and keep your cat away from all wild varieties.

🌙 Darker nights - As the nights draw in, our emergency vets see a proportionate rise in the number of road traffic accidents. Consider keeping your cat indoors around the morning and evening rush hours.

🌲Flowers and plants - Several flowers and plants that are popular in the autumn are potentially toxic to cats, including the autumn crocus, chrysanthemum and dahlia.
🕯️Fireplaces and candles - Cozy fireplaces and candles may look pretty, but can be dangerous for curious cats – so ensure that you never leave your cat unattended with either.

🐀 Rat poison - Rodenticide is commonly put down in autumn when rats start heading indoors for warmth. While designed to taste nice to rats, unfortunately, cats like it for the same reason. Speak to your vet if you think your cat has eaten a poisoned rodent.

❄️ Antifreeze - Ethylene glycol, as it’s officially known, is sweet-tasting and palatable, but even a small quantity can cause severe kidney damage. A cat who has antifreeze poisoning may have symptoms such as vomiting, seizures, depression or laboured breathing.

Now that we're officially entering Autumn, here are some hazards to look out for in order to keep your dogs safe whilst out and about 🍂 👇🏼

🍄Mushrooms and toadstools - Some wild mushrooms are highly toxic and if swallowed can cause kidney and liver failure. Try and keep your dog away from all wild varieties.

🪰Harvest mites - In autumn, these tiny insects climb up long grass, bushes and trees waiting to sink their fangs into something warm-blooded. Signs of infestation can include skin inflammation and scratching.

🌙Darker nights - Darker nights can reduce your dog’s ability to be seen, and with it being firework season, if they hear a noise they could also run away. Ensure you and your dog are visible with reflective leads, collars and hi-viz vests.

🧂Rock salt - Rock salt or grit on the roads can cause your dog to become dehydrated or, in serious cases, cause liver failure if they lick it from their paws. Ensure you wipe away any rock salt after walks.

Trees and plants
🌲Conkers - Conkers contain a poison called aesculin which can cause drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Ingestion can also lead to potentially fatal intestinal blockages.

🌳Acorns - Acorns contain a chemical called gallotannin that’s toxic to dogs and can cause liver and kidney damage. Affected dogs may vomit, have diarrhoea, lethargy and abdominal pain.

🍂Fallen leaves - Leaves left long enough will eventually turn to leaf mould and, like any decomposing organic matter, may contain dangerous mycotoxins.

Home and garden
🐀Rat poison - Rodenticide is often used in autumn. While designed to taste nice to rats, dogs can be attracted to it too. Speak to your vet if you think your dog has eaten a poisoned rodent.

❄️Antifreeze - Ethylene glycol, found in antifreeze, is sweet-tasting but highly toxic. Even small amounts can cause severe kidney damage. Symptoms include vomiting, seizures, and difficulty breathing.

Top tips this Autumn
🔦Stay bright - Use reflective or glow-in-the-dark leads and collars during night walks. Carry a small torch to ensure visibility to drivers.

🪰Flea treatment - Ensure your dog’s flea treatment is up to date, as fleas can thrive indoors once heating is turned on.

🧼Chemicals - Always use pet-safe products when dealing with vermin or cleaning.

🌳Trees & plants: Don’t let your dog play with conkers or acorns. Avoid rolling in rotting leaves.
