As is on a Tuesday this year, firework displays are spread across this weekend and next. We know this is a stressful time for many pet owners, so our vets have put together their top tips on helping anxious pets keep calm 🎆

Our free Firework Guide will help you make sure you've got everything covered for your pet: http://pdsa.me/pFGd

[Visual description: Infographic which has seven tips to help pets cope with fireworks. Each tip is next to a small picture related to the point. Tips include: make a den, play music and sounds, keep pets inside, pheromone plug-in, close doors, curtains and door flaps, cats feel safer up high, and if your pet seeks reassurance, comfort them normally.]

The bright flashes and loud bangs of fireworks can be exciting and fun for us, but for our cats, they can be confusing and frightening 😿

It’s difficult for them to understand that they aren’t in danger when they hear or see them, and since their senses are much better than ours, they experience fireworks more intensely than we do!

Here are our top tips to help your feline friend feel happy and safe during fireworks season, proudly supported by Ever Clean UK 🎆

[Visual description: An infographic explaining how to keep your cat calm during fireworks. There is a picture of a grey stripy animated cat in the middle of the picture, with gold sparks surrounding it. Points around the cat include: Get them inside well before dark and make sure all windows and cat flaps are shut/locked so they can’t get back out. Don’t pick up cats or restrain them if they are scared: cats prefer to control how they cope. Close your curtains before it gets dark and leave the lights on to hide the flashes. Try to stick to normal routines and behave normally. But if it helps, distract them with something fun to do. Make them a den to hide in if they wish. Provide a litter tray nearby. Comfort them if they come to you for reassurance, don’t ignore them. Give them a litter tray near their den. Even if they normally toilet outside, provide a litter tray inside. If you have more than one cat, give them a tray each plus a spare. Never punish them for anything they do when they’re scared. Play music to drown out the noises from fireworks. Keep them calm with pheromone diffusers. Try not to confine them to one room.]

Keira Pug cross 4 years
Poor Keira is bereft after losing her whole World due to her owners illness.
Sadly coming into rescue is quite bewildering for her, and she craves human attention
She needs to be an only dog and will be devoted to her new adopter.
We are doing all we can to comfort her , and she’s settling more each day, but a home of her own is needed.
We are looking for a kind, local home with someone who has time and commitment to mend this little girls heart

KEEP YOUR MEDICINES OUT OF YOUR DOGS REACH 💊

With colds (and viruses!) rife at this time of the year, many of us may have medications on hand to help with the symptoms. Tablets, capsules, drops, sachets, sprays and syrups are readily available to us, but these may contain several active constituents that can harm our dogs if they were to ingest the wrong dosage.

Always consult your vet if you are thinking about giving your dog any medications.

‼️🐶 We are in desperate need to recruit more dog foster carers 🐶‼️

We have seen a HUGE rise in heartbreaking pleas of dogs needing to come into care through no fault of their own. We are in an animal crisis and our waiting list is rapidly growing and we need your help!

We are looking for dedicated foster homes that can commit to helping our dogs through their journey, dogs just like Buster. He is so grateful to have landed on his paws in his foster home while he waits for his forever home 🏡

We provide everything from food, beds, toys and cover all of the veterinary costs. We are looking for foster homes in Northamptonshire ideally without any other animals in the home so that we can give the dogs time to decompress.

If you could open up your heart and home to help a dog in need then please complete our fostering form here - https://bit.ly/3UzJadL

Or email on [email protected]

Please share to help spread the word, thank you in advance 🐾

DOGS ON LEADS 🐾

There is no blanket law requiring dogs to be kept on a lead in all public spaces. However, there are a series of orders that mean you have to leash your dog in certain places in your local area, for example children’s play areas, sports pitches, roads, parks and beaches.

The Highway Code also says that dogs should be kept on a short lead along roads, pavements and on paths shared with horse riders or cyclists (rule 56).

Many local authorities have introduced Public Spaces Protection Orders over the last couple of years to restrict dogs to being walked on lead (or excluded from the area entirely) in certain public spaces. Look out for signage detailing restrictions. We also recommend checking your local council’s website for details of any restricted areas.

🚨What can happen if I break this law?🚨

Local authorities have the power to introduce these orders under a number of different laws, and can issue fines or fixed penalty notices for those who don’t comply.

Law: Road Traffic Act 1988, section 27; Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014

As the weather gets colder the hogs will be preparing to hibernate, they do this by eating a lot of food! They need a big fat reserve to successfully hibernate through winter. 🍂🦔

You can help hogs by leaving out dry cat biscuits, if you're worried about cats and other animals getting into it you can also create a hedgehog feeding station!

Did you know hogs main food source are beetles and caterpillars! They only start eating slugs and snails when alternatives are not available to them! 🦔💕🪲🐛
