đŸŸđŸŽ†Loud and sudden noises can make cats anxious and stressed, so fireworks season can be a tough time for our feline friends.

đŸŸGet them microchipped
Before fireworks season begins, get your pet microchipped and, if they already are, check your contact details are up to date. This is really important as it gives you the best chance of being reunited with your cat if they become spooked and get lost amid the bangs and crashes.

🏠Keep them inside
Make sure your cat stays inside at night during firework season. Check the dates and times of local displays so you know when to keep your cat in. If your cat is used to going outside, provide a litter tray.

đŸŸBlock off cat flaps to stop them from getting outside and to help muffle the sound of bangs and zips.

đŸ“șBackground noise and light
You can help to block out the noise of fireworks by switching on the TV or radio, if your cat is already used to the sound, but make sure it’s not too loud.

Closing the curtains or blacking out windows will help to block out the sight of bright flashes.

đŸŸLet them do their thing
Let your cat pace around inside your home and meow if they want to. If your cat finds a den to hide in, for example under the bed, don’t try to coax them out – your cat is trying to find safety and shouldn’t be disturbed.

đŸŸDon't leave them alone
Avoid leaving your pet alone during such potentially upsetting events, especially during the week around Bonfire Night. If you do have to leave the house, don’t get angry with your cat if they have toileted after being left on their own. Shouting at a frightened cat will only make it more stressed.

đŸŸStay calm
Although it’s difficult when it’s obvious your cat is stressed, try not to let them know you are worried as it may make the problem worse. Stay calm and act normally. This might be hard to do if you are worried about your pet, but it will help your pet if they see that you are not concerned. It’s OK to cuddle and stroke your cat if it helps them relax, but if they prefer to hide under your bed, then let them do this instead.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
A change in your cat's urination pattern can be a sign of stress. If your cat is urinating more frequently than usual, straining to urinate, has blood in their urine, or is trying to urinate but not passing any urine, then you should contact your vet as this may be something more serious.

đŸŽ†đŸŸHow to keep your dog happy during fireworks

It’s never a good idea to take your dog to a fireworks display. Even if they don’t whimper at the noise, it doesn’t mean they are happy. Panting and yawning are both signs that indicate your dog is stressed.

Take a look at the following advice to help keep your dog calm during fireworks:

đŸ•°ïžEarly walks
It’s a good idea to time walks earlier in the day before the fireworks start. Keep your dog on-lead if you think fireworks will be let off.

🏠Keep them indoors
Always keep your dog indoors when fireworks are being let off. Don’t tie your dog up outside while fireworks are being let off, eg outside a shop while you pop inside, or leave them in the garden or alone in the car.

đŸ“șBackground noise
Switching the TV or radio on at a slightly increased volume might help to muffle the sound, but make sure it’s not too loud and do not try this if your dog is not used to noises from the television.

Dogs show they are stressed or anxious in lots of ways, including:
▫panting excessively
▫drooling
▫shaking
▫yawning
▫putting their tail between their legs

Although it’s difficult to stay calm when your pet is stressed, try not to let your dog know you are worried as it may make the problem worse. Stay calm and act normally. It’s OK to cuddle and stroke your pet if it helps them relax, but if they prefer to hide under your bed, then let them do this instead.

You can also help your dog by:
▫Letting them pace around, whine and hide in a corner if they want to. Once they have found a safe space try not to disturb them.
▫Allowing them to hide in a den where they can feel safe and comfortable when loud noises are all around. This could be under your bed or behind the sofa.
placing some of your clothes in the den which may help to keep your pet calm

đŸŸIt goes without saying that you should never shout at your pet. If you have to leave your house during firework season and come home to find your dog has been destructive or toileted, don’t get angry with them. This won’t help and will also make your dog more stressed.

đŸŸMake sure your dog is microchipped and your information is up to date so your dog can be returned to you if they are spooked by fireworks and run off. They should be wearing an ID tag with the owner’s name and address displayed.

With the most spooktacular time of the year just around the corner, we have pulled together a Halloween survival guide to help keep pets happy. đŸŸđŸ‘»

While lots of us will enjoy Halloween, it can be a stressful time for pets. With more knocks on the door, people dressed up, and visitors coming into your home, pets could be left feeling unsettled.

Here’s our Halloween survival guide to help keep pets happy and prevent any cat-astrophes. đŸ‘‡đŸŒ

đŸ« Keep Halloween treats out of paws’ reach
Chocolate is poisonous to pets as it contains a toxic chemical called theobromine. Even a small amount of chocolate can be fatal. Sweets can also be dangerous for pets if they have the sweetener xylitol (birch sugar). As we stock the cupboards with tasty Halloween-themed treats, make sure all sweets and wrappers are kept well away from pets.

🎃 Move candle-lit pumpkins away from pets
If one of your favourite Halloween traditions is to carve a pumpkin, ensure carving tools and lit candles are well away from furry friends. Candle-lit pumpkins may look spooktacular, but to prevent any curious pets from burning their noses this Halloween, keep them out of paws’ reach. Once the holiday is over, don’t forget to dispose of pumpkins safely to prevent your pet from gobbling gone off or mouldy pumpkins.

đŸŸ Don’t dress up pets
While we might like to dress up in scary costumes, most pets don’t. Costumes can make pets feel stressed and uncomfortable. Our four-legged friends are adorable just as they are, so our advice would be to steer clear of Halloween costumes for pets.

🩇 Hang Halloween decorations out of pets’ reach
Many cats and dogs love to play with dangly decorations. However, if they get hold of them, they could end up chewing and swallowing something harmful, leading to serious problems such as a gut blockage. Make sure you hang spooky decorations out of pets’ reach.

â›șMake a den
If you’re having a Halloween party or in a neighbourhood that gets lots of trick-or-treaters, help your pet feel calm and secure by making them a den in a quiet corner away from the activity.

🍬 Leave treats for trick-or-treaters outside
Knocks on the door and unfamiliar people approaching your house can make some pets feel anxious, especially if they’re not used to visitors. This Halloween, why not place a “help yourself” bucket filled with sweet treats outside your front door or at the bottom of your drive? That way, trick-or-treaters can help themselves to sweets without unsettling your pet. It’s a good idea to make sure your treat box has a secure lid, so other pets in the neighbourhood can’t help themselves.

🌙 Be home before dark
To avoid stress in dogs, take them for walkies before it goes dark. Trick-or-treaters in costume and loud music from parties can be scary for our pets, so it’s best to be at home with them before Halloween activities start.

For cats, encourage them to come home earlier by moving their dinner time to before it gets dark outside. And make sure you have beds and litter trays if you’re shutting the cat flap for the evening.

Close the curtains and windows if there’s lots of noise outside. If your pet seems worried or anxious, it might be better to avoid going out and leaving them alone.
