Even better, don’t set off fireworks at all and save our pets and wildlife from unnecessary danger.
Fireworks can be distressing for animals, especially pets.
If you’re using fireworks at home, make sure to keep your pets safely indoors and minimise noise where possible. A little care makes a big difference.
Let your neighbours know when you plan to let the fireworks off so that they can safeguard their animals.
If you own a pet or another animal, here are some tips that might help:
🐶 Walk dogs before it gets dark.
😺 Keep dogs and cats inside when fireworks are likely to be set off, and provide them somewhere safe to hide.
🏠 Close windows and curtains.
🐰 Give small pets who live outdoors lots of extra bedding and nesting material to burrow in.
🐮 Keep livestock housed at times when fireworks are likely to be set off locally and remove any firework debris from grazing pasture before letting them out.
🐴 Horses may be better turned out in a field than stabled, as in a stable they may feel enclosed and unable to move. Owners should consult a qualified equine behaviourist if they have significant concerns about their horse’s response to fireworks.
