Your dog.\u00a0 Fireworks and dogs do not always mix so we&#8217;ve got 8 tips to help you and your pooch through the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although we may oooh and <\/span>aaah<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> at the spectacular sights exploding in the sky, our dogs typically have a very different response \u2013 fear! What can you do to reduce your pet\u2019s anxiety, so the whole household enjoys bonfire night?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Never take your pet to a firework display.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ensure your dog gets plenty of <\/span>exercise<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> earlier in the day before the display begins<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is a higher incidence of runaway dogs on bonfire night. Find out when the firework display is likely to start and keep your dog inside during that time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Close all windows and doors in your home so that noise levels from outside are reduced. That\u2019s not too hard to do when it is usually quite chilly in November. You can also draw blinds or close curtains for extra noise reduction too.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When the display is taking place, try to distract your dog with other sounds, such as the TV or by playing music.

This may be the crate or dog bed, so allow your dog to take himself there and allow him to stay there for the evening if that is where he feels most comfortable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep calm yourself and do not appear to look hassled. Dogs often pick up on how their owner is feeling and if you are calm your dog is likely to feel calmer too.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your vet may be able to suggest a dog appeasing pheromone (DAP) or calming scent that you can use to reduce your dog\u2019s anxiety.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here at\u00a0<strong><em>The Savvy Travaller\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>we wish you and your whole family a safe and enjoyable bonfire night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot.\u00a0 You\u2019ve remembered to get the jacket potatoes ready to go in the oven and to prepare the post-display treats. \u00a0You\u2019ve remembered to dig out your wellies to help you get through the mud and fallen leaves at your local park. \u00a0Not only that, but you\u2019ve &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/fireworks-and-dogs-on-bonfire-night-remember-remember-these-8-tips\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Fireworks and dogs: on bonfire night remember, remember these 8 tips<\/span>Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":8407,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[47],"tags":[1373,830,1374,1375,1376],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
