****KEEPING YOUR PETS SAFE DURING TONIGHTS FIREWORKS****

Prepare early.

Firstly, take a photo of your dog and make sure it has a collar on with identifying tags in case it goes missing tonight, locals can easily identify them.

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.

I am in need of a couple of play dates for Olly over the next few days. I have to go to Perth. My mum is looking after him but he’s a little bit too powerful for her. Just needs to be once a day for a trip out to the beach or a walk. IF anyone has the time and is willing please DM me. Would be much appreciated 🙏❤️
