Feed him too much, and he will likely become overweight.

🎆 New Year's Eve is almost here, and so are the fireworks! Did you know that more pets are lost on this night than any other? 😿

While fireworks signal celebrations for us, they can be terrifying for our furry friends. The loud noises often cause fear and anxiety, leading some pets to try to escape by jumping or digging under fences - and in the process, they can get hurt.

To help keep your pets safe, here are our top tips for the fireworks season:
🐾 Know when fireworks are happening so you can plan ahead
🐾 Give your pet plenty of exercise beforehand - a tired pet is a calmer pet!
🐾 Create a cozy, safe space inside with closed blinds, a comfy hideaway, and calming music or TV to mask the noise
🐾 Stay calm and act normally - avoid comforting your pet too much, as it can reinforce anxiety
🐾 Make sure your pet is microchipped and that their details are up-to-date, just in case they escape

See link in comments for our full guide about ways to calm your dog during fireworks. 🎇🐾

Your dog’s nails can catch and rip on ice or even that hard crusty snow no one likes. Long nails can also splay your dog’s paws while they walk, making it easier for irritants to get between their paw pads.
