Your floof is a social butterfly! The life of the party! A total chaos gremlin! Untilllll.... the fireworks start 😩 Uh oh.
The scaredy shakes are here and they aren’t any fun 😔💔
Here’s some tips on how to prepare for the (very loud) holiday weekend👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Before fireworks:
🐾 Take your dog for a long walk or fetch session earlier in the day to expend some of that excess nervous energy!
🔐Secure windows and doors, as some floofs will startle and bolt when frightened 😢
📿Ensure your dog’s microchip or collar information is up-to-date in case of an accidental escape
During fireworks:
🏠Create a safe space - when floofs can huddle somewhere familiar and cozy, (like a padded crate or right by you on the couch) they feel more secure!
🔊Try sound masking - play calming music or white noise to help drown out the abrupt bangs from fireworks
🦴 Treats are a great distraction - offer chew toys/treats or try playing their favorite game to keep their mind’s occupied and attention engaged (on anything OTHER than the scary loud noises!)
That’s it! Big floof parent points for making it to the end😁 We loveeee all our special floofs, and hope everyone stays safe and has a super fun weekend💜🐶🎆
PS: This is generalized advice, so please consult your veterinarian if your dog shows signs of severe anxiety! Some floofs need more than the basics, and that’s always ok 💞
