FIREWORKS & FRIGHTENED DOGS
How to help you help them
Every year it’s the same feeling of fear and dread as 5 November approaches. Unless you’ve seen a scared dog, it’s hard to imagine, but the sight of a terrified dog is pitifully sad. What seems a great night out for young children and families is in fact a living nightmare for those of us who have dogs who are
fearful of fireworks.
There are steps you can take to reduce the stress. Putting a careful plan in place allows you to get through the evening together. Whilst there are no easy answers or quick fixes, it is possible to reduce your dog’s fear and regain some control of the situation by combining several ideas together.
1. Walk early, feed early: change the routine
A scared dog won’t eat - and will then be hungry and unsettled - so eat early and get it out of the way. They won’t mind! Walk in the light, not the dark, before any fireworks may go off. It’s worth going for a longer walk to tire them out more too. Have water by them all night as they will pant more if frightened.
