🐾 How to Keep Pets Calm During Firework Season
While fireworks are a blast for humans, they can be frightening for our furry friends. At Elevated Fireworks™, we want your celebrations to be fun and safe for everyone—including pets. Here’s how to prepare and protect your animals when the skies start booming.
🧠 Why Pets Fear Fireworks
Dogs, cats, and other animals have much sharper senses than humans. Sudden loud noises, flashing lights, and unfamiliar vibrations can feel like a threat. That’s why many pets panic, hide, shake, or even try to run away during fireworks displays.
🛡️ 7 Tips to Keep Pets Safe and Calm
1. Create a Safe Space Indoors
Set up a quiet, secure area with your pet’s bed, toys, and calming background noise. Keep windows and doors closed to muffle the sound.
2. Use White Noise or Music
Turn on the TV, a fan, or a calming playlist to help drown out fireworks noise.
3. Try Calming Products
Veterinarians often recommend items like calming chews, anxiety wraps, pheromone diffusers, or CBD pet treats (ask your vet first!).
4. Exercise Before the Show
Take your dog for a long walk earlier in the day. A tired pet is less likely to be anxious.
5. Stay Calm Yourself
Pets take cues from their humans. Stay relaxed and speak to them in a soothing voice.
6. Avoid Leaving Pets Alone
If possible, stay home or have someone your pet trusts nearby to comfort them during the peak of fireworks activity.
7. Update ID Tags and Microchips
In case your pet does get scared and runs away, make sure they can be identified and returned safely.
