As your guests admire your well-planned fireworks display, you’re probably soaking up all the oohs and aahs. But your furry friends may not be having such a good time. The loud booms, bright flashes, and smoke can cause them a lot of stress. To ensure your beloved pets stay safe and comfortable, follow these simple tips:
Create a Safe Space
Designate a quiet area in your home as a pet respite during festivities. It can be a cozy corner of your family room or a large crate in the basement with a blanket over the top. Add some toys, a bowl of water, and their favorite treats to make it more enticing to stay there.
Mask the Noise
Playing white noise or soft music on the TV can help drown out the sound of fireworks outside. A fan can also mask the noise and keep them cool if they become agitated.
Calming Aids Are an Option
With the abundance of calming treats on the market today, it’s possible to help your pet stay relaxed or even sleep through the event. You can also ask your vet to recommend calming sprays or relaxing essential oils.
Don’t Leave Them Outside
Keeping pets outside during fireworks displays is one of the leading causes of runaway animals. They panic and escape seeking shelter rather than going inside the house. To keep them safe, make sure they have a comfortable place inside to wait it out.
Desensitize Your Pet
Make desensitizing your pet to the sounds of fireworks part of your event planning by playing low-volume recordings of fireworks for them every day. Reward them with treats if they remain calm as you gradually increase the volume. This method takes a lot of patience on your part to be successful.
Keep Identification Tags Current
Ensure your pet’s ID tag has your current address and phone number in case they escape while you’re distracted by your guests. It’s the best chance you have of being reunited.
