Indeed, most<strong> dogs are afraid of fireworks<\/strong>. The deafening noise and sudden lights are incomprehensible to him. We strongly advise you not to take your dog to see fireworks, as his<strong> sensitive ears <\/strong>may be damaged and he may become very frightened. In this case, he may behave in a way that is totally out of character for him, running away or biting in panic. Here are 5 tips to <strong>reassure your dog <\/strong>during a fireworks display.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Prepare a safe place for your dog<\/h2>\n\n<p>Make sure your dog has a quiet, comfortable place to go when he hears fireworks. If your dog has never heard fireworks before, just make sure he has <strong>access to his bed<\/strong>. Moving him or isolating him may worry him and upset his habits. If you already know that your dog is afraid of fireworks, put his things in a quiet room, as far away from the festivities as possible. Leave the door open so he can come and go as he pleases.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Minimize outside noise<\/h2>\n\n<p>Close your windows and shutters. Take your dog out before or after fireworks, but never during them. You can <strong>turn on the TV<\/strong> or play music to mask outside noise. Familiar noises will help your dog not to concentrate on the fireworks.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Adopt a reassuring attitude<\/h2>\n\n<p>Your attitude plays a key role, as it has a direct impact on your dog&#8217;s behavior. If you show signs of concern or overreact to your dog&#8217;s fears, he may become even more anxious. You&#8217;re sending him the signal that his<strong> fear is legitimate<\/strong>, that there really is something to worry about. Stay calm and act normally before and during the show. Talk to your dog in a soft, cheerful voice to show him that everything&#8217;s okay. Don&#8217; <strong>t overprotect <\/strong>your pet; try to be your usual self, but accompany him a little more than usual. If he&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everland-petfood.com\/en\/advices\/my-dog-shakes-causes-and-solutions\/\">trembling with fear<\/a>, stroke him gently until the fireworks are over.      <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Try soothing sprays and diffusers<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong> Soothing products<\/strong> can help your companion stay calm in the face of noise and lights. Use pheromone and plant-based diffusers or sprays, which reproduce your dog&#8217;s natural signals of well-being. Natural food supplements, such as<strong> valerian <\/strong>or passionflower, can also help calm your companion, but are not immediately effective. Instead, use diffusers, to be installed a few hours before the festivities, or sprays, to be applied before the show begins. Always ask<strong> your vet for advice <\/strong>before using these products.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Distract your dog with activities<\/h2>\n\n<p>Keep your dog&#8217;s mind occupied with<strong> games or chewy treats<\/strong> during the festivities. Give him a chew bone or an interactive toy to distract his attention from the noise. This will help him to concentrate on a pleasant activity and ignore the bangs. Adapt the distractions offered to<strong> your pet&#8217;s preferences <\/strong>to keep him effectively occupied. As you can see, fireworks are a major<strong> source of stress for dogs<\/strong>. Cats and other pets are just as sensitive: apply our tips, adapting them to your pet&#8217;s species, to calm it down. Bear in mind that it&#8217;s no good not taking your dog to the show. If you leave your dog home alone and live near the fireworks, remember to create a <strong>reassuring <\/strong>little <strong>cocoon <\/strong>before you leave.       <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fireworks, as fascinating as they are to us, can be a real source of panic for your dog.
