๐ฅ Fireworks can cause a lot of stress and anxiety for our darling dogs, but there are things we can do to help. Hereโs some top tips to help keep them safe and calm:
โจ Walk your dog before it gets dark, make sure itโs a long walk so they are tired out.
โจ Make a safe space in a quiet room of the house with their bed, favourite toys, treats and plenty of water.
โจ Play music or put the TV on to help drown out the noise of any big bangs and close your curtains.
โจ Act calmly, dogs pick up on our emotions, so being calm and reassuring is really comforting.
โจ Make sure your dog is microchipped incase they do get scared and manage to escape.
โจ If your dog needs the loo late at night, consider popping them on a lead so they canโt run away.
โจ Be there for your dog, if they are scared, reassure them in a calm, positive, loving way.
Letโs give our furry friends some extra TLC this week ๐
