🚨 Fireworks are starting — please prepare your dogs 🚨
While fireworks may be fun for us, they are terrifying for many dogs and animals. The noise, vibrations, and unpredictability can cause extreme fear and panic. It’s incredibly hard on them, and they rely on us to help them feel safe.
What you can do today to prepare:
• Talk to your vet about medication if needed
• Pick up calming aids like CBD (pet-safe only)
• Create a safe, quiet space — a crate, closet, or cozy corner
• Add comfy bedding and play calming music (classical works great 🎶)
Important safety reminders:
❌ Do NOT walk your dogs at night unless they are fully secured
❌ Do NOT leave dogs outside unleashed — even fenced yards are not safe
Dogs can jump fences, dig under them, and bolt in panic
✔️ Keep dogs contained, supervised, and leashed at all times
Every year after fireworks, shelters are overwhelmed. Hundreds of dogs go missing, are injured, or killed — and it’s preventable.
Your dogs do not need to be at the fireworks. They need to be home, safe, and comforted.
Personally, I go out during the day with friends, and we’re all home at night to care for and comfort our dogs. That may not be what everyone chooses — but please remember:
They need us to help them through what they’re experiencing.
Let’s protect them 🤍🐶🐕
