Keep your pets safe this fireworks season: create a cozy space, stay calm, and never leave them outdoors. Safety starts with love!
Fireworks can be stressful for pets, but there are several ways to keep them safe and comfortable:
1. KEEP PETS INDOOR
– Bring outdoor pets inside to avoid the risk of them running away out of fear.
– Ensure all windows, and doors are securely closed.
2. CREATE A SAFE SPACE
– Set up a quiet, cozy area in your home where your pets feel secure.
3. PROVIDE COMFORT
– If at all possible, keep your pets with you, stay with them to offer reassurance.
– Play calm music to block out the noise.
– Distract them with toys or treats.
4. AVOID TAKING PETS TO FIREWORK DISPLAYS
5. AS THE FURPARENT — STAY CALM YOURSELF
– Pets often pick up on their owner’s emotions, stay relaxed to help them feel more secure.
6. PLAN AHEAD
– If possible, walk your pets earlier in the day to avoid exposure during fireworks.
– Prepare all the necessary things that will be needed — cages, blankets, toys, treats, etc.
Being proactive can go a long way in keeping your pets safe and stress-free during fireworks.
