Our pets can’t understand what fireworks are about. To them, the loud noises and bright flashes are scary and unexpected and our pets often want to escape from what is a high-stress situation for them.

There are ways you can prepare for Firework season in order to help your pets stay calm:

  • Make sure your pets have a safe space or den where they feel comfortable.
  • Check when displays are being held, keep your pets inside, and try to sound-proof your house by drawing curtains and keeping windows and doors shut.
  • Introduce background noise using the TV or radio to make the sound of fireworks less obvious.
  • Try to act normally as your pet will look to you for reassurance.
  • Make sure your pet’s microchip information is up-to-date just in case of escape. This is a legal requirement for dogs and highly recommended for cats.
  • Use a pheromone or natural calming product to help manage your pet’s anxiety. Just ask us about the best products available.
