Prepare your pet for Bonfire Night
For many animals and their owners, fireworks can cause distress and anxiety.
However, there are steps you can take, both before the event and on Bonfire Night, to help your pet feel calmer.
Our animal behaviourist Claire Haynes has made a series of videos to help you prepare your animal for firework season. The first is a general video for all pet owners with common signs which indicate your animal might be stressed by fireworks. She then gives specific advice for dogs, cats and small animals.
If you are worried about your animal and firework season, please contact your vet as far in advance as possible. They will be able to advise you on supplements, and perhaps medication that will help your animal feel less anxious and stressed.
If this is the case, you can also contact an accredited animal behaviourist through the Animal Behaviour and Training Council. They will be able to advise you long term on things you can to do to help your animal feel more comfortable with loud noises.
