1. Keep Them Close – Hugs, Cuddles, and Kisses
Offering physical comfort and reassurance to your dog during fireworks can go a long way in soothing their anxieties. Hug, cuddle, and shower your pet with kisses, so they feel safe and loved in your presence, fostering a sense of security amid the loud festivities.
2. Weighted Blankets
Just as humans benefit from weighted blankets for relaxation and improved sleep, dogs, too, can experience similar effects. Providing gentle, constant pressure, these blankets create a calming sensation for your canine, making them all the more comfortable during a potentially overwhelming fireworks show.
3. Treats, Toys, and Distractions
Spoil your fur baby with their favorite treats or some fun new toys to keep them occupied while the fireworks light up the sky. A mentally-stimulating puzzle toy filled with treats can do wonders in distracting your canine from the noise outside, as they will be too preoccupied with the task at hand.
4. Use of Pee Pads
Anticipate that your dog might be too anxious to go outside for their regular bathroom break. Setting up a designated spot indoors with pee pads can alleviate both you and your pet's stress, ensuring they have a secure spot to go when nature calls without having to brave the sound of fireworks.
5. Play a Movie or Music on a Louder Volume
Drown out the sound of fireworks by playing soothing music or a familiar movie at a louder-than-usual volume. The familiar noise can mask the explosions outside, providing a calming environment for your canine companion.
Remember, every dog is unique, and what works for one might not work for another. With love, attention, and patience, you can help your pet adjust and get through the fireworks display without too much distress.
