Fireworks: Keep Your Pet Calm & Collected 🎆

✅ Lower The Noise: Consider soothing music or white noise to drown out the loud booms.

✅ Distract Them: Provide your pet with toys, treats, and chews to keep their mind off the fireworks.

If these tips aren’t enough to ease their anxiety, we can provide other interventions to help your furry friend with the upcoming holiday.
