Some people are very judgemental about other people and their dogs. If you aren't qualified to offer the advice and haven't been asked your opinion, then don't get involved. Leave caregivers and the professionals to do what they need to do.

Hoping that everyone and their pets are staying safe and calm with all the fireworks.

⚠️️Please remember reassureance is absolutely fine. Keep it calm and gentle. Talk softly.
⚠️If your pet finds somewhere to hide, leave them there as they may become more distressed if you try to approach them or remove them from the area.
⚠️ If they will take food/treats, then offering them things that will help distract them, such as snuffle games, find it, licking or chewing can all be useful.
⚠️ Keep background noise on. If your pet isn't used to classical music then keeping a normal radio station on or the telly on can be more useful than changing the background noise to something different.

Myth: If my dog’s gait looks normal, they’re not in pain.

Fact: Dogs are experts at compensating - they often mask pain by shifting weight or altering movement subtly. Gait analysis and behavioural changes (reluctance to jump, hesitation on stairs) often reveal pain earlier than a limp.
