The Fourth of July is a celebratory time for humans, but for our furry friends, it can be a nightmare. The loud noises from fireworks can cause extreme stress and anxiety in pets. But don't worry, with some preparation, you can ensure your pup stays calm and safe while looking their best!
-
Create a Quiet, Comfortable Space
Set up a designated quiet area in your home, like a crate or small room with curtains drawn and familiar scents or toys. This cozy den will help your pup feel secure. You can also invest in dog earmuffs to provide an extra layer of soundproofing - just introduce them gradually beforehand.
-
Secure Your Home and Yard
Many pets attempt to escape the frightening firework sounds, so make sure your house is locked and yard is securely fenced. Consider leaving your pup safely at home rather than exposing them to overwhelming firework displays.
-
Natural Calming Aids
Ask your vet about using calming supplements like CBD treats. Distractions like lickable treat mats or stuffed chew toys can also help redirect anxious energy.
-
Play Calming Music
In addition to soundproofing, consider playing soothing music to help drown out firework noises. Spotify has playlists specially designed for dogs, like the "Calm Pet Playlist" which features soft, relaxing tunes that can ease anxiety.
