Fireworks are coming up so please make sure all your animal have somewhere safe to hide and that all microchip details are correct. ❤️ please take any strays to the SPCA or local vet clinic to ensure they are not missing
Guy Fawkes is just a week away and while fireworks may be fun for some, they can cause severe distress for our companion animals. 😿 To help protect them, now is the time to check that your pet’s microchip details are up to date on the NZ Companion Animal Register (NZCAR). This can make reuniting much easier if they become frightened and run off!
Here are some other steps to keep pets safe:
👉 Keep pets indoors, closing curtains to reduce exposure to bright flashes.
👉 Create a safe, quiet area for them to retreat to if frightened.
👉 Take dogs for a walk before dusk to avoid being outside during fireworks.
👉 Provide distractions, like toys or treats, to keep them occupied.
👉 Consider speaking to your vet about calming options if your pet has a severe fear of fireworks.
