Not everybody is a huge fan of fireworks—some dogs and cats suffer from intense anxiety triggered by the loud noises produced by fireworks and thunderstorms 🎆
With Canada Day coming up and storm season upon us, try to set-up some protected areas in your home where your pet feels safe. You can create a safe space in a basement, cover a kennel with a thick blanket, and keep blinds shut during fireworks and storms. Providing positive reinforcement during times of intense noise is also helpful, using high-value treats (the good stuff!) to help reassure your pet. Short-acting anxiety medications are also an option for our high-stress critters, so chat with your veterinarian about what may be most suitable for your furball.
Have a very happy Canada Day, all! 🍁
