Noise Phobia
With fireworks starting from 31st October, and no doubt some have already been going off, here are some things you can do and try to help relieve their anxiety.

Increased ambient noise like music or tv can help to blur out the sounds. Playing with squeaky toys if you have them may help too and put a positive spin on things.

Acting calmly or playing with them as if nothing is happening can help them to think everything is ok. They’re smart, so if we act relaxed and happy they can pick up on that. This is more effective for pets who haven’t yet got a full noise phobia but prevention is always better than cure.

For pets you’re unsure about, new pets or first-time experience pets, try to make it a positive experience by playing or training with them. Get them excited and when fireworks go off make that positive connection.

What NOT to do is overly sweet talk them if they do get nervous. This is always so difficult to do but from a pets perspective if they act nervous and we reinforce this in this way what we really said is – “good job, that’s exactly how you should be acting”. This isn’t to say ignore them as that’s bad too but be aware of how you do interact with them. Reassure them calmly, distract them with treats or get their favourite toys out or just give them a nice place to sit by you if they wish to for reassurance. Just be cautions of reinforcing the nervous behaviour.

Create a ‘nesting’ area with bedding and a cover. If they have a particular place they like, then that is a good place to have one but having one near to where you are or in a secluded place in the room are other options. Have their usual bedding, their favourite toys or a chew they can knaw on.

Give them exercise earlier in the day to tire them out a bit. This won’t be a complete fix but if they're tired out and you’re covering up the noise a bit, it can help them sleep through it a little better.

Calming tablets, sprays or plug ins can work for some but not all so don’t fully rely on them. Actual sedatives aren’t recommended as they may appear more relaxed but they can still hear noise but can’t react as well. Certain medications can sometimes help your pet feel more chilled out but it’s a case of it may help or it may not, and you won’t know until you try. These are prescription drugs though so they must be seen by a vet first.
