💥💥How should I care for my pets and horses during fireworks displays?

Across Australia, there are many celebrations that may involve fireworks. Unfortunately, many animals are terrified by firework displays, and these can indirectly pose risks to animal safety by causing them to take flight and try to escape the loud noises.

🐶 🐴
Dogs and horses in particular often try to run away when frightened by fireworks, and may injure themselves.
Many of these animals can end up several kilometres from home. Dogs have been known to jump through plate glass windows to escape loud noises, and easily jump over, or dig their way under fences that would normally contain them.

🐶 What can I do for my dog?

🔺Prepare early.
Talk to your vet about the treatment options available for managing noise phobias – ask them about any new treatment options.

🔺Take your dog out for exercise before the fireworks start e.g. a reasonably long walk, then after a couple of hours you can feed them a meal.
🔺A tired and well-fed dog may be less anxious during the night. If you can, stay home to be with your pet.
🔺Let your dog be with you, remain calm and perform your normal activities.
🔺Avoid fussing over your pet excessively as this may encourage anxious behaviour.
🔺Try to engage them in normal activities such as playing.
🔺Reward your dog for their calm behaviour, rewards include giving dog treats and their favourite dog toy.
🔺Keep your dog indoors if possible, close the blinds/curtains to decrease visual stimuli, and create a comfortable hiding place.
🔺An example of a hiding place can be a cardboard box with blankets inside. Cover the box with another blanket and put on some soft music or the TV to help mask the noise outside.
🔺Distract your dog with games and food. Do not force these on your dog if they want to hide instead.
🔺Do not punish your dog if they show signs of fear and distress.
🔺Dogs who panic can choke themselves on a collar or leash, so NEVER tether your dog during these times and never use a choke chain to restrain your dog.
🔺Make sure your dog is microchipped and that your contact details are up to date on the microchip register.
🔺Also ensure they are wearing an ID tag with your up to date contact details, so they can be easily returned if they accidentally escape.
🔺Direct supervision is important to help prevent injury or escape.
🔺If you cannot supervise your dog on the night consider making alternative arrangements so your dog will be supervised by a responsible person directly or you could even consider boarding your dog with a good and reputable boarding kennel so they will be safe.
🔺Dog-appeasing pheromones may help to reduce the intensity of fear in your dog, and can help create a calming environment.
🔺Dogs should not be left outside alone as this greatly increases the risk of them experiencing fear and distress as well as a greater likelihood of escape.

🐴 🐱 🐰 What about cats, rabbits and other pets?

🐱 Cats should be kept indoors during fireworks displays.
🐱 Most cats will find somewhere safe to hide and will usually venture out when the noise stops; ensure that they have some comfortable and safe places to hide
🐱 Make sure you cat is microchipped and your details are up to date on the microchip register in case they escape and become lost. 🐰 Rabbits and other small animals like guinea pigs should be safely housed during the fireworks display.

🐴 Horses are particularly vulnerable to bolting when exposed to fireworks.
🐴 A recent study in New Zealand found that a large number of owned horses escape in response to fireworks [3].
🐴Some horses come back with lacerations, strains and broken limbs.
🐴In preparation for a known fireworks event nearby, if possible, horses should be securely stabled or temporarily moved to a location away from the fireworks display, to minimise the risk of them physically harming themselves.
🐴Any sharp objects that might injure a panicking horse should be removed, stable windows should be covered to hide the sight of the fireworks and to reduce the noise, and food and water should be available for the horse [4].

🦘Wildlife are also affected by the unexpected noises and bright lights fireworks produce.
🦉Wild birds will often take flight due to fear and panic, and can sustain injuries as a result of flying into each other, trees, fences, and buildings [5].
🦘Larger animals like kangaroos, wallabies and wombats may escape from the noise, and end up on roads, which may result in them being injured or killed by vehicles.
💥 Firework debris is also toxic if ingested by animals. Contact your local wildlife carer organisation if you have any concerns about risks to local wildlife.

Enjoy fireworks responsibly, and make precautions to protect your pets and wildlife.

Sir Loki the cat appears to be famished once more, I believe 😂🥰

📣With Perth set to experience high temperatures this week, it’s essential to take extra precautions to keep all our beloved pets safe and comfortable. Whether you have a dog, cat, bird, or guinea pig, here are some tips to help them stay cool during the heat:
General Tips for All Pets
1. Hydration is Key:
Ensure fresh, clean water is always available. For smaller pets like guinea pigs or birds, check water dispensers frequently, as water can evaporate quickly in the heat.
2. Cool Shelters:
Create a cool, shaded area for your pets to relax. For indoor pets, use fans or air conditioning to keep the room comfortable.
3. Limit Activity:
Avoid vigorous play or walks during peak heat hours (10 a.m. – 6pm.). Opt for early mornings or late evenings when it’s cooler.
4. Never Leave Pets in Cars:
Temperatures inside vehicles can soar dangerously high within minutes.

Specific Care Tips for Different Pets
Dogs and Cats
• Cooling Mats and Wet Towels: Provide cooling mats, damp towels, or frozen water bottles wrapped in cloth for them to lie near.
• Grooming: Regular grooming helps, but avoid shaving their fur completely – it provides insulation against heat.

Birds
• Fresh Air and Mist Baths: Position cages away from direct sunlight and provide a shallow dish for bathing or gently mist them with water to keep feathers cool.
• Ventilation: Ensure good airflow around their cage but avoid placing them in direct drafts from fans or air conditioners.

Guinea Pigs and Small Animals
• Cool Housing: Place cages in the coolest part of your home, away from direct sunlight.
• Frozen Treats and Bottles: Wrap frozen water bottles in cloth and place them in the cage to provide a cool spot.
• Moist Vegetables: Offer water-rich vegetables like cucumber and Cos lettuce to keep them hydrated.
