Alot of dogs are afraid of fireworks, heres a few things you can do to hep them.
KEEP PETS INDOORS
Don't bring your pets outside during the fireworks! Your pet could easily get scared and run away.
PROVIDE A QUIET PLACE
Prepare a place for your pet such as a quiet room, or kennel to help them feel secure. Remember their crate/kennel is their safe place!
GIVE THEM DISTRACTIONS: TOYS, TREATS, MUSIC
Treat toys such as kongs filled with peanut butter may help keep their minds busy and distract them from the fireworks. Music will also help to drown out the sound of the fireworks.
MICROCHIP & ID YOUR PETS
Your pets should always have proper identification tags, with up-to-date contact information. Microchipping is strongly recommended so please make sure that information is current! This will help, if your pet gets out, whoever finds them to contact you quickly.
WALK YOUR DOG EARLIER IN THE DAY AND WALK THEM LONGER
This is a great way to tire them out so that they can rest better later.
CONTACT YOUR VETERINARIAN
Some pets require meditation options to help them relax during fireworks
Keep your pets safe and YOU Stay safe as well! Don’t drink and drive!
