Top 5 Tips for Keeping Your Pet Calm During Fireworks

Fireworks season can be a stressful time for pets. Here are some expert tips to help them feel safe:

  1. Create a Safe Zone: Prepare a cozy, quiet area for your pet to retreat to.
  2. Use Calming Sounds: Playing white noise or calming music can help reduce the impact of loud sounds.
  3. Walk Earlier: Make sure to walk your dog before the fireworks start to avoid outside noise.
  4. Stay Calm and Reassuring: Your calm demeanour can help your pet feel at ease.
  5. Offer Distractions: Use toys, treats, or puzzles to keep them engaged and distracted.
