Do your furry friends suffer from storm phobia? It can be difficult to watch your pet deal with stress related to loud noises, flashing lights and vibrations. Here are a few tips to help calm them down:

🌩️ Keep yourself calm. Your pets notice your emotions and body language, which can cause them to become stressed.
🌩️ Give your pets a safe hiding spot. Preferably a quiet room with few to no windows.
🌩️ Distract them by playing games, feeding them or even turning on a TV to drown out the loud noises.

Protecting wildlife is important, but equally important is protecting ourselves and our pets. 🦊🐻 Here are some tips for preventing wildlife conflict:

➡️ Do not feed wildlife. Over time, animals lose their natural fear of humans and become accustomed to being fed.

➡️ Don’t leave pet food outside. Keeping pet food in secure containers can also help prevent wildlife from smelling their way into your yard.

➡️ Attract birds with natural foods. Adding native plants to your property provides healthy food and natural shelter in ways that bird feeders can’t.

➡️ Prevent interaction with wildlife. While small mammals (raccoons, opossums, rabbits, etc.) may not seem like they pose a threat, they can carry diseases and parasites that can seriously harm your pets.

➡️ As cities expand, it may be more likely to see coyotes, bears or even wildcats during your walks. Often these animals are frightened by loud or constant noise, so attaching bells to your pet’s collar can help prevent them from following or attempting to interact with your animal.

We’d love to hear your three-legged love stories 👇❤️
