With Halloween and Bonfire night fast approaching fireworks can be frightening for our pets. Cats and dogs may react differently to loud bangs, flashing lights & unfamiliar sounds, but a little preparation can make a big difference!

🐶🐱 HOW TO SPOT STRESS

Look out for signs such as:

• Hiding or trying to escape
• Shaking, panting or pacing
• Excessive licking or drooling
• Barking, meowing or unusual vocalising
• Toileting indoors
• Refusing food
• Becoming unusually clingy or withdrawn

Remember, not all pets show their fear in the same way. Quietly hiding can be a sign of significant distress, too.

🏡 CREATE A SAFE SPACE

🐶 For dogs:
• Prepare a cosy den with their bed and favourite blankets.
• Introduce it before fireworks begin, using treats and toys to create positive associations.
• Keep them indoors, close windows, doors and curtains, and play the TV or music to help mask the noise.

🐱 For cats:
• Provide safe hiding places, such as cardboard boxes, covered beds or quiet spaces.
• Keep them indoors, with windows, doors and cat flaps secured before fireworks start.
• Make sure they have access to familiar bedding, food, water and a clean litter tray.
• Let them hide if they want to — never force them out.

❤️ DURING THE FIREWORKS

✅ Stay calm and reassure your pet if they seek comfort.
✅ Keep dogs on lead when walking, and walk before dark where possible.
✅ Ensure cats are safely indoors before fireworks begin.
✅ Keep microchip details up to date in case your pet escapes.
✅ Allow your pet to choose where they feel safest, and never punish fearful behaviour.
✅ Consider vet-recommended calming aids, such as pheromone diffusers. Some pets may also benefit from anxiety wraps or other support.

🩺 WHEN TO CONTACT YOUR VET

If your pet becomes extremely frightened, panics, attempts to escape or remains distressed despite these measures, speak to your vet early. They can advise on suitable treatment and whether prescription anxiety medication may help.
Never give your pet human medication or use essential oils around cats without veterinary advice.

🎉DID YOU KNOW WE CAN OFFER 5 WEEKS FREE PET INSURANCE? 🎉

We understand that pet insurance can be a minefield with so many different companies and policy types. Owners often feel overwhelmed and end up not getting cover at all, leaving a pet uninsured.

We highly recommend pet insurance as this removes the worry of making decisions based on finances when your pet is unwell or in need of any treatment.

While it’s often used for puppies and kittens, it’s also available for the majority of pets over 8 weeks old that have had a health check with one of our vets.
This means that we can issue this 5 WEEKS FREE pet insurance to give you time to look into getting a full policy!! 🐈 🐩
