Our fur babies need more than just belly rubs! Exercise and playtime are crucial for their physical and mental health. Distract Your furry friends with their favourite toys or a game of fetch before the fireworks start.
A tired pup or a content kitty is less likely to fret.
7. Sensational Safe Haven 🏡:
Designate a quiet, safe area in your home where Your pawesome friends can retreat to when fireworks are going off. This space should be comfortable and familiar to them, with their favourite toys, bedding & calming aromas.
8. White Noise or Music 🎶:
Playing soft, calming music or white noise in the background can help drown out the loud firework noises. There are plenty playlists and apps designed specifically for Your furtastic pets that you can try.
9. Positive Association Training 👍:
Gradually desensitize Your pet to loud noises by playing firework sounds at a low volume and rewarding them with treats and praise. Over time, increase the volume while continuing to reward calm behaviour.
10. Extra Love and Reassurance ❤️:
Last but not least, shower Your fur babies with love and affection. Reassure them that you're there and that they're safe. Your presence can work wonders in calming their nerves.
