How to Keep Your Pets Calm
DURING THE FIREWORKS
New Year’s Eve is a time of celebration for most. Fireworks, invented in China between 600-900AD, are said to ward off evil spirits with their loud noise and brilliant colours.
Unfortunately, many pets whose hearing is more developed than ours, find the noise and colours overwhelming. Here are some tips for keeping your pets safe during New Year’s Eve celebrations.
1. Ensure that fences, gates and doors are secure
Your pets might panic when fireworks start and try to flee. Ensure that your property is secure. Better still, if you can bring your pets indoors do so.
2. Access to their safe place
Safe places could be their kennel, bedding or house.
3. Use calming supplements or treats
There’s a wide range of calming supplements, treats or plug in pheromone products on the market today that will relax your pet.
4. Don’t Fuss
Try not to fuss over your pet when they’re anxious as this can make the situation worse.
5. Favourite toy
Make sure their favourite toy is close by. Dan & Sam’s Snuggle Blanket & Bear is perfect for anxious pets.
