With the fourth coming …. Here’s a quick read of Keeping Your Dog Calm During Fireworks…

What do I do? For me personally I normally give them all a Benadryl. I shut all windows curtains and turn up exhaust fans or house fans to create a noise. I get there favorite bed, also get some “good” dog bones. Always keep collars on with property identification.

Fireworks can be incredibly scary for dogs due to their sensitive hearing and the unpredictable nature of the sounds. Here's how you can help your dog feel safe and comfortable:

1. Create a Safe Space:
Designate a quiet area: Set up a comfortable space in your home, preferably away from windows and doors, where your dog can retreat to. This could be a basement, a closet, or a crate.
Make it cozy: Fill the space with familiar items like their bed, blankets, and favorite toys.
Ensure access: Make sure your dog can access this safe haven at all times, even when you're not home.

2. Muffle the Noise:
Close windows and curtains: This helps reduce the impact of the loud sounds and bright flashes.
Play calming sounds: Use a white noise machine, play calming music, or turn on the TV to help mask the sound of fireworks.

3. Provide Comfort and Distraction:
Stay with your dog: If possible, stay home with your dog during fireworks to offer comfort and reassurance.
Offer treats and toys: Engage your dog with their favorite toys or puzzle toys filled with treats to distract them.
Stay calm yourself: Your dog can sense your emotions, so remain calm and composed.

4. Consider Additional Support:
Calming products: Explore options like pheromone diffusers, calming sprays, or anxiety vests like the ThunderShirt, which applies gentle pressure to provide a sense of security.
Medication: If your dog's anxiety is severe, consult with your veterinarian about anxiety medication. Options like Trazodone or Xanax may be prescribed.
Desensitization training: In the long term, consider desensitization training with a professional trainer or veterinary behaviorist to help your dog become less reactive to loud noises.
Important Reminders:
Never punish your dog for their fear-related behaviors.
Don't leave your dog outside during fireworks, even in a fenced yard, as they might try to escape.
Make sure your dog is microchipped and their contact information is up to date in case they get lost.
