🐾 FIREWORKS & KEEPING YOUR PETS SAFE 🐾
Fireworks are scheduled for this Saturday night, 17th October, at 9pm at Barclay Oval for the Eden Whale Festival.
⚠️ Please be aware: If winds pick up, the fireworks may be brought forward to an earlier time without warning. So don’t wait until 9pm to prepare your pets!
Here are a few simple ways to keep your pets safe:
🏡 Keep them indoors! Bring your pets inside well before the fireworks begin, and ensure doors, windows and gates are secure.
🏷️ Check their identification! Make sure your dog is wearing a properly fitted collar or harness with an ID tag displaying their name and your current phone number. Double-check their microchip details are up to date, too!
🎶 Drown out the bangs! Pop on some music, the television or a little background noise to help muffle the sound of fireworks.
🛋️ Create a safe space! Give your pet somewhere familiar and comfortable to retreat to. Let them hide if they need to, and offer plenty of reassurance.
🐕 Walk them early! Get those afternoon walks and toilet breaks out of the way before the festivities begin.
A little preparation can make a world of difference to a frightened pet.
Please share this reminder with your friends, family and neighbours, especially those with pets living close to Barclay Oval.
Stay safe, Eden! ❤️🐾
Cheers,
