KEEP YOUR PETS INDOORS ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.
Your pet's sharp ears might be a blessing in most cases, but over the holidays they are a curse 😫
Dogs, for instance, can hear sounds from distances over four times further away than what humans can hear. To them, a firecracker going off in a neighbor's yard will sound like it's going off right beside their head!
This is why New Year's eve celebrations are so traumatic for our companion animals! The combo of bright lights and loud noises, while exciting to humans, is downright terrifying for cats, dogs, and any other pets.
• Please appeal to your family, friends and neighbors not to use firecrackers.
• Please keep all your pets indoors as we ring in the New Year. For strays, please allow them access to a safe space in your yard if they come to you.
