Pet Safety Tips
Advance preparation:
*If you don’t already have one, set up a safe space where your pet can feel secure. In addition try to eliminate the sights and sounds of the fireworks, like a closet or a room with blackout curtains. Then, fill the space with comfortable beds, favorite toys, and treats.
*Encourage your pet to go to the safe space.
*Pick out calming supplements and aids. There are several natural supplements designed to reduce anxiety for animals, but other aids, such as pheromones, can also help create a sense of calm.
*Consider Behavioral training.
*Visit your veterinarian. If your pet has had severe reactions to loud noise in the past, share your concerns with your vet so they can offer personalized training advice or recommend anti-anxiety medications.
Day-of support:
*Get some exercise earlier in the day, before noise starts.
*If you’re planning to give your pet supplements or anti-anxiety medications, do so a few hours before in order to help the animal relax and reduced their reactivity.
*Leave music playing in your pet’s safe space to block the booms. Closing all the windows and doors in the house will also help muffle the noise, as well as prevent your pet from escaping if they get scared.
*Don’t make a fuss. When your pet is distressed, your first instinct may be to comfort them, but excessive comforting may reward their behavior or validate their fears. You can give them a few calm pats.
