Top Tips from Friars Moor for Fireworks Night
Dogs
- Ensure all windows and doors are shut. Close the curtains and turn on the TV or play music to muffle the sound of the fireworks
- Consider distracting your dog from the fireworks by giving them a chew, toy or playing a game with them
- Ensure your dog has a safe, warm area to hide away in and consider using an ADAPTIL® diffuser nearby
- Walk your dog early in the evening when it is still light outside and remember it is now law to have your dog micro-chipped. This will help to reunite your dog if they become scared and run off
- NEVER punish your dog for displaying unwanted behaviour as a result of fireworks going off – this will only
make them more distressed - Call us to discuss using a pheromone product and other options leading up to fireworks nigh
Cats
-
- Keep your cat indoors after dark
- Ensure all windows and doors are shut. Close the curtains and turn on the TV or play music to muffle the sound of the fireworks
- Make sure there is a litter tray, water bowl and have some treats to hand. If you have more than one cat, have a feeding station and litter tray for each cat plus a spare one
- Ensure your cat has a safe, warm area to hide away in and consider using a FELIWAY® diffuser nearby
