🎆🐾 Thunderstorms & Fireworks: Helping Your Dog Cope with Noise Anxiety 🐾🎆

Loud noises from thunderstorms and New Year’s Eve fireworks can be terrifying for dogs, but there are ways to help ease their anxiety. Here are some tips to keep your furry friend calm:

🌩️ Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, cozy area where your dog can retreat—like a crate covered with blankets or a quiet room.

🎶 Drown Out the Noise: Play calming music, white noise, or turn on the TV to help mask thunder and fireworks.

🧸 Provide Comfort: It’s okay to soothe your dog with gentle pets and a calm voice—reassurance can help them feel safe.

🐕 Distract & Engage: Offer puzzle toys, treats, or a favorite activity to shift their focus from the noise.

💊 Plan Ahead: If your dog struggles with severe noise phobia, speak to your vet about medications, or behavioral therapy.

Don’t let loud celebrations or storms ruin the holidays for your pet. We’re here to help!

🎄🐾 Merry Christmas from Dr Lauren Mobile Vet! 🐾🎄

As we celebrate this festive season, let’s not forget about our furry family members! Here are a few tips to keep your pets safe and happy this Christmas:

✨ Mind the Treats: Many holiday goodies like chocolate, raisins in mince pies or pudding, nutmeg, macadamias in shortbread and onions can be harmful to pets. Stick to pet-safe snacks!
🌸 Christmas Lilies Are Dangerous for Cats: Even a small amount of lily pollen, petals, or leaves can cause kidney failure in cats—avoid bringing these into your home.
🎁 Pet-Proof Decorations: Secure your tree and keep ornaments, tinsel, and fairy lights out of reach—curious paws love to explore!
🎅 Quiet Spaces: If your pet finds the hustle and bustle overwhelming, create a cozy retreat where they can relax.
🎄 Holiday Travel: Heading away? Make sure your pet’s vaccinations, parasite protection, and microchip and identification tag details are up to date!

Thank you for trusting us with your beloved pets this year. Wishing you and your furry companions a safe and joyful Christmas! 🐶🐱💖

Love,
The Team at Dr Lauren Mobile Vet
