Diwali 2024 will be on Thursday 31st October.

Here are 10 ways you can enjoy a safe & happy Diwali with your fur child!
1. Celebrate a cracker-free Diwali.
Diwali is the festival of lights, not noise. Consider donating a tin of dog food to the SPCA instead of firecrackers!
2. Keep them indoors
It might be best to keep your pets indoors during the celebrations. It will put your pets at ease, and reduce the risk of them running away. Please get your pets Microchipped!
3. Keep the windows, doors, and curtains closed
Keeping everything closed will muffle noise and keep your pets from seeing flashing lights that might scare them further. Avoid setting any fireworks off close to the house.
4. Background noise
This will not only help to muffle the bangs and booms going on outside, but a constant source of noise might also calm your pets.
5. If your pets hide, let them
If your pets get scared enough to hide under a table, or beneath a bed, don't attempt to pull them out. This might stress your pet further.
6. Comfort them
Being with them and comforting them will help your pet feel calm and safe.
7. Get a blanket
Sometimes a cover, such as a blanket, will help calm your pets down. It can help him feel more comfortable and protected.
8. Give them a treat
Giving your pets a treat or their favourite toy can distract them from the noises.
9. Stay calm
Be sure to stay calm when you're around your pets. Your pets will naturally react to your behavior, so acting panicky or excited around the dog will only make matters worse.
10. Anti-anxiety treatments
Be prepared! Please come in and see us for advice on the range of anti-anxiety tablets and liquids available for your pets.

Following these 10 steps will help to soothe any panic your pets are feeling.
If you need any further advice please come in and chat to us or call us on 033 266 6624
