As you will know that this time of year can be very stressfull for our pets weather they are left outside or inside they still get very upset with the sudden banging of fireworks. if only it was on just one night a year we and our pets could cope, but they seem to go on for weeks before and weeks after ,then we get them all over again at christmas and new year,
we took bruce to training when he was a puppy and they advised us to get him used to all sorts of sudden noises and sights, which we did, but nothing stops him trying to jump in the air when out walking and a firework goes off, we can see the fear in his face although we try to remain calm and carry on walking, as we were told to do at training, nothing seems to stop his fear . even when he is safe indoors and a firework goes off he nearly smashes our windows trying to get out. it,s bad enough when you,ve got a small breed of dog so frightened that he jumps on your lap with fear, but a nine stone rottie is a bit much when he,s doing his scooby doo impression. so please think of pets when having your displayes and keep them and yourselves safe and happy.
TIPS
keep dogs in doors, if possible in a room with no windows.
give the dog plenty to play with or a big juicy bone to take their mind off the fireworks.
put dogs in their own safe place and
cover with blanket to make them feel more secure.
rub the dogs ears as this is a very sensitive area and really relaxes them.
you can get herbal remedies from good pet shops or speak to your vet for the best course to take.
close curtains so they carn,t see the lights from fireworks and put music on to occupy their minds.and not hear the noises from the fireworks.
