As November nears, the time is coming for sky rockets and sparklers. While these bright lights can be an entertainment for some, the loud, unpredictable and sudden noises can be scary for our animal companions - do you have a plan in place? We recommend
- create a safe space with curtains pulled, the use of a covered crate, pet cave/den, or even repurposing a cardboard box with a favourite toy or blanket to provide a calm, darkened, and in some cases escape-proof space for your pet - the addition of "normal" background noise can be helpful (music, tv, etc)
- providing high value and long-lasting distractions - frozen treats, lick-mats, puzzle feeders, your reassurance and company
- making sure your pet has had a good tiring walk or exercise (and toilet stop!) well before the fireworks start – should they need to go out again when fireworks may occur, onleash is safest.
- making sure your pet is microchipped, with up to date details on file at the vet clinic, council, and on the NZCAR (New Zealand Companion Animal Registry)
- checking all gates, fences, latches and doors before they may be tested by a worried animal
- come and see our staff for advice on aids like thundershirts and calming supplements.
- for the larger animals, such as horses, if they are comfortable inside, we still recommend stabling overnight. If not, secure them in a bigger, obstacle-free paddock they can get comfortable in, with an established friend or friends – walk the paddock in the light, before the fireworks begin, to make sure no fencing concerns or paddock debris that could cause injuries.
- be considerate of when and where you let off any fireworks
If you feel your pet needs a little extra medicinal help to cope, please make an appointment with one of our vets, to discuss medications that may best help – these are most effective when given ahead of time. If your animal becomes hurt or injured, we are available for WVS and VOC client emergencies 24/7 on 0800PETVET
