Pup Parlor is proud to celebrate America’s 250th birthday this weekend 🇺🇸! A reminder that dogs and cats can experience fireworks much more intensely than we do. The resulting anxiety and panic are an unfortunate side effect of the celebrations.
Here’s some tips to keep our friends calm:
• Create a safe space! Set up a quiet area where your dog can retreat and feel secure.
• Reduce the noise! Close windows and curtains, turn on a fan, TV, or calm music to help mask the sound.
• Keep them comfortable! Offer a favorite toy or blanket to help distract and soothe them.
• Exercise earlier in the day! A walk or play session before fireworks begin can help reduce stress and restlessness.
• Keep them inside! Even confident dogs can panic and try to escape when startled by loud noises.
