How to do an "Anti-Anxiety Wrap" for your pets against fireworks this New Year's Eve?
You don’t have to use a bandage; a scarf will work well too.
1. Begin by wrapping an ace bandage around your dog’s chest. The size of the bandage you use will be determined by the size of your dog; use narrow bandages for small dogs and wide bandages for large dogs.
2. Bring the bandage ends up and cross them over your dog’s shoulders. Cross the bandage across the top of your dog’s shoulder blades, then cross the loose ends under your dog’s stomach.
3. Finally, tie the loose ends away from the spine over the top of the lower back. You want the pressure to feel snug but not constricting – like a warm hug.
What happens to dogs during fireworks?
During fireworks, your dog experiences the same kind of startled response you do when you're surprised by a loud noise. This may mean an increase in heart rate, a rush of adrenaline, and an increase in stress hormones circulating through the body
Although, we love to welcome new year by using firecrackers, many animals become so frightened by the noise and commotion of fireworks that they run from otherwise familiar environments and people, and sadly become lost. They may also suffer devastating or even fatal health effects from the stress.
Habibi Animal Clinic is closed on Dec 31, 2023 until January 2, 2024. We'll on resume on January 3, 2024. We are located at Cabrera St. Bag Ong Lungsod, Tandag City.
For emergency, please contact the nearest vet available. Thank u and take good care of your pets furrparents🐶🦮🐈⬛
Happy New Year🎆🎇
