🐾🎆 Firework Season is Approaching – Help Your Pets Feel Safe 🎆🐾
For many of us, fireworks are a fun part of celebrations. Unfortunately, for our pets they can be a source of significant fear and anxiety.
Now is the perfect time to start preparing your pet for firework season.
✅ Desensitisation Training -
Gradually introducing your pet to firework sounds at a very low volume and pairing them with treats, play, and positive experiences can help reduce fear over time. The earlier you start, the better the results are likely to be.
✅ Create a Safe Space
Provide a quiet, comfortable area where your pet can retreat during fireworks. Close curtains, play calming music, and ensure they have access to their favourite bedding and toys.
✅ Veterinary Support Available
Some pets need extra help managing their anxiety. Our veterinary team can discuss a range of options, including calming supplements, pheromone products, and prescription medications that may help your pet cope during firework season.
⚠️ Please remember that prescription medications are not one-size-fits-all and should only be used following advice from your veterinary surgeon.
📅 Don't wait until the night of the fireworks. If your pet has struggled in previous years, contact the practice now to discuss the best plan for them.
