We are not afraid of fireworks

Helpful tips for Christmas. New Year’s Eve is a favorite time for fireworks that light up the sky with magical lights. However, for your dog, such fun can be very stressful. Here are some simple tips to help you keep your pet calm during these tumultuous times.

• Make sure that there is some kind of noise in your house – a working TV or music. The dog will get used to it, and the appearance of other noises will no longer cause stress.

• Close the curtains so that flashes of light in the sky don’t startle your pet.

• Keep all outside noise to a minimum by closing all windows and doors in the house.

• If possible, you should not take your dog with you to admire the fireworks – it is better for her to stay at home.

• It is best to have someone in the house who can calm and cheer your pet.

• If your pet has had similar problems in past holidays, please consult your veterinarian regarding the use of medications.
