Fireworks Are Fun… But Not for Fido!
As fireworks light up the sky, many dogs experience anxiety from the loud noises. If your pup struggles with noise phobia, here are a few simple tips to help keep them calm and safe:
Create a Safe Space – Set up a quiet, comfy area where your dog can retreat and feel secure.
Use Soothing Sounds – Play soft music, white noise, or turn on the TV to help mask the fireworks.
Stay Calm & Comforting – Your dog looks to you for reassurance—stay relaxed and offer gentle cuddles if they want them.
Try Calming Tools – Anxiety wraps, pheromone diffusers, or vet-recommended calming treats can make a big difference.
Medication – There are many different types of medications that can help make the summer holidays safe and calm for your four-legged friends.
Exercise Early – A tired pup is often a more relaxed one. Get in a good walk before the fireworks begin.
Check ID Tags & Microchips – Make sure your dog’s collar has up-to-date tags and that their microchip info is current—just in case they bolt in fear.
