With Halloween🎃 just a couple of days away shortly followed by bonfire night 🔥☄️please think about how these will effect your dogs.
Some dogs will take it all in their stride others will turn into trembling wrecks.
There’s afew things you can do to help them.
Walk early so they aren’t scared by costumes around Halloween.
Also feeding early if you think that you will have trick or treaters. This way they will feel full & hopefully settle easier.
Bonfire night is terrifying for many dogs. Keep your radio/tv on for them.
Make them a safe space & also use a thunder jacket (you can easily make one from sheets/towels/scarves) you don’t need to spend lots of money on one.
We sell lots of long lasting treats, puzzles, snuffle & lick mats to keep them distracted.
Just make sure you are prepared.
Out of out 5 dogs we only have one that gets bothered by fireworks. We make sure she’s distracted.
I know this isn’t limited to dogs.
As sadly after some neighbours let fireworks off a few years ago 2 of our sheep died due to shock. As a livestock owner I know how traumatic it is to have to calm them down.
Stay safe & think about everyone around you🐾
