How to Keep Your Dog Calm During New Year’s Celebrations 🎆🐾
New Year’s Eve can be stressful for pets, especially with all the loud fireworks and festivities. Here are some tips to help your dog stay calm and comfortable:
Try Calming Products:
Use calming treats by Activa, sprays, diffusers, or anxiety vests to help soothe your dog during loud noises.
Create a Safe Space:
Set up a cozy area in a quiet room with their bed, favorite toys, and a blanket. Make it their retreat if they feel overwhelmed.
Use White Noise or Music:
Play calming music or turn on a white noise machine to help drown out the sound of fireworks.
Keep Them Inside:
Ensure your pup stays indoors during the celebrations to avoid the risk of them running away or getting scared outside.
Provide Distractions:
Offer long-lasting chews, puzzle toys, or treat-dispensing toys to keep them busy and distracted.
Stick to Routine:
Maintain their regular feeding, playtime, and bathroom schedule to reduce stress.
Stay Close:
If possible, stay with your dog to provide reassurance and comfort. Your presence can make a big difference.
Avoid Scolding:
If your dog reacts to fireworks or loud noises, avoid punishing or scolding them—it can increase anxiety.
Make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved as you ring in the New Year! 🐶✨
