🎆🐾 **Fireworks Awareness for Pet Owners 🐾🎆

Hey Pet Parents! 🐶🐱 With the festive season around the corner, it's time to talk about our furry friends and fireworks. While the dazzling displays are exciting for us, they can be pretty overwhelming for our pets. Here are some tips to ensure a stress-free time for our four-legged pals:

1. **Create a Safe Haven:** 🏡 Set up a cozy, quiet space indoors with their favourite toys and bedding. Make it their retreat during fireworks to provide a sense of security.

2. **Minimise Visual and Auditory Stimulation:** 🚫 Keep windows and curtains closed to reduce flashing lights. Consider playing soothing music or white noise to muffle the sound of fireworks.

3. **Watch for Signs of Stress:** 🧐 Be attentive to your pet's behaviour. Signs of anxiety include pacing, panting, hiding, or changes in appetite. Respond accordingly to their needs.

4. **Establish a Routine:** ⏰ Stick to your pet's usual routine as much as possible. Predictability provides comfort, especially during unsettling times.

5. **Reward Calm Behaviour:** 🍖 Positive reinforcement works wonders! Reward moments of calmness with treats or affection to reinforce a sense of security.

6. **Consult with Professionals:** 🩺 If your pet's anxiety persists, don't hesitate to seek advice from a veterinarian or professional trainer for personalised guidance.

Remember, every pet is unique, so tune in to their needs and provide the comfort they deserve during this festive season! Let's ensure our furry friends enjoy the holidays as much as we do. 🐾❤️. Please share your experiences and tips on reducing your dogs anxiety during fireworks night. Drop your suggestions in the comments below. Lets create a community of support for our four legged friends ❤️

Separation anxiety is common in dogs. Providing them with a safe place to retreat to can provide some much needed comfort and security when your not around, so hopefully you can come home to a nice hug rather than a big mess.🐾

Don't leave me. 🥺

In humans, pain is communicated verbally. In dogs, it is communicated visually - through a change in posture, an uncharacteristic behavioural response, a different coat pattern.

There are a huge number of ways in which pain can be expressed in our four-legged friends.

Hone your observational skills and learn how to identify signs of pain with our free course, a collaboration with world-renowned canine behaviour practitioner, Gemma Hodson.

Considering a Dog Bed? Here are 3 Crucial Questions to Ask! 🛏️

When it comes to choosing the perfect dog bed for your furry friend, it's more than just aesthetics. Here are 3 important questions to ponder, ensuring you make the right choice:

1. Size Matters: Selecting the right size dog bed is paramount. A bed that is too small can be uncomfortable, while an oversized one can leave your pup feeling insecure. Ensure it matches your dog's breed and size to guarantee a snug fit. Here at Sleeping Dogs Lie we’re happy to offer a wide range of sizes, from our Camden Pyramid bed to our Merino Cosy Plus X-Large Wool dog bed. Perfect for all breeds small and large.

2. Ease of Maintenance and Durability: Invest in a durable bed that can withstand your dog's daily activities. Dogs can be messy! Opt for a bed that's easy to clean and maintain. Our Trojan Cosy Waterproof Dog Beds are designed to withstand the wear and tear that often comes with regular use by active dogs. The removable cover is a game-changer when it comes to keeping things fresh and tidy. Simply unzip and remove the cover, toss it into your washing machine, and let it do the work for you.

3. Comfort is Key: Take a close look at the filling or padding within the bed. Is it designed with orthopaedic features to provide essential joint support? Does it promise the level of comfort that ensures your canine companion enjoys a restful night's sleep? Some beds come with extra perks like cooling properties or hypoallergenic materials. Consider these features, especially if your dog has specific needs or allergies. Sleeping Dogs Lie offer a range of beds with special features. Our Senior 7+ Vet bedding is designed with the older pet in mind and those with arthritis and joint complaints. The material is also hypo allergenic making it suitable for sensitive pets.

Remember, a dog bed isn't just a piece of furniture; it's a place where your beloved companion will spend a significant part of their life. So, choose wisely to ensure their comfort and happiness! 🐶💤

If it’s too hot for your hands or bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! 🐾🌡️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for 5 seconds ✋⏱️ If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am - 6pm. Remember, if you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt 🐶

If you’re concerned, here’s what to do if your pet gets burnt: http://pdsa.me/DbSl
