Take a look at some helpful tips on how to keep your furry friends happy over Bonfire Night…or any other time when fireworks are going off.
It isn’t advised to let your pet outside if they are scared of fireworks. The loud noises could cause them a lot of distress. They could run into danger such as a busy road or even run away from home.
The best way to keep them happy is to make sure they’ve had plenty of exercise and have been to the toilet before you keep them indoors.
If your kitty generally likes to roam, make a conscious effort to get them indoors before it gets dark. To stop them from getting out, make sure you have closed all your windows and doors and blocked the cat flap.
If you have a pet who lives outside like rabbits or guinea pigs, turn their hutch towards the wall to keep the noise out. You can also cover the hutch with a blanket to minimise the sound even more. If possible, bring the animal inside for the evening.
Try an minimise the noise as much as possible for your indoor pets as well. By closing the blinds and windows you are cutting out the loud noises and flashing lights.
Avoid making any plans to leave the house if you have a pet whos scared of fireworks. Rather than over comforting your pet, distract them with a new toy or some treats.
