FIREWORK season is here and for your four-legged friend it can be a great cause of terror.

Here’s a few helpful hints to make sure nights of horror are left behind at Halloween.

Simple tricks can help your dog cope with fireworks which are often a source of anxiety and distress.

Pillows and blankets can be a great way to make a calming, zen den inside your home and can work wonders as a comfort to a lot of pet pooches.

Closing your windows and doors are key ways to muffle the sound, but this can be helped by turning your TV or radio up to mask the bangs and distract your pets.

The sights of fireworks can also be troubling and often forgotten about. Remembering to close your curtains to block out the bright lights can really help your dog to settle down. Walkies just before dusk will mean you avoid fireworks whilst you are out and about – fireworks are unlikely to be set off in daylight hours. It will also help tire your pet, meaning they may sleep through the displays at night.

If these simple steps from Lintbells pet manufacturing company don’t leave your canine’s tail wagging and you feel they are still distressed, it may be time to seek advice from your vet.
