Fireworks season is coming up soon, please keep your pets calm and indoors!
The Wellington SPCA encourages pet owners to get their animals microchipped. This is the best way to ensure you will be reunited with your pet should they go missing during this busy time.

TIPS to keep your pets safe during the fireworks season:
• Keep them indoors in a familiar room. . . and stay home with them.
• Close the windows, curtains, and blinds.
• Have the TV or radio on to muffle the sound
• Stay in the room with them and act normally, our pets react to our emotions, so if you are calm, they will feel calm
• Allow dogs and cats to hide under the bed or wherever they feel safe.
• Give them something to do, such as a chewy bone to munch on or catnip toys for cats
• Get a herbal calming medication for your pet (most effective when started a week prior to the expected fireworks, available to purchase at your local Vet or Pet Shop)
• Make sure pets are microchipped or wearing ID tags, so you can be reached if they go missing.
Please make the SPCA your first port of call should you find a lost or stray animal or if you have lost your pet. If your pet has gone missing, please ensure to visit your local SPCA’s within the 7 day time frame.
And if you haven't microchipped your pet yet, please make an appointment with us to do so - 021 864 3726
