Some helpful tips to help our dogs cope during fireworks
Does your dog get anxious at firework sounds?
If fireworks are going off near you this week, a few small steps can really help:
🎆 Keep collars and ID tags on - even indoors, just in case.
🎆 Close curtains and play calming sounds to help muffle the bangs.
🎆 Create a safe space where your dog can retreat if they need to.
🎆 Offer soothing activities like a stuffed Kong, chew, or LickiMat to help them relax.
Try to stay calm yourself - your dog will take their lead from you.
If they choose to hide, let them; it’s their way of coping.
Above all, don’t listen to those saying not to comfort your fearful dog. You will not make their fear worse, you’ll help them feel safe.
Stay safe, and give extra cuddles when it’s all over ❤️
