Almost all dogs have trouble with the sound of fireworks.

Why might a dog be scared of fireworks

Loud noises cause ear pain in dogs, as many dogs have sensitive hearing.

Animals can be really hurt if fireworks sound close. Strong thunder can cause the same problem.

In addition, loud and unexpected noise causes extreme stress and fear in the animal.

If the dog is outside, the pet can break free, run far and get lost.

How to distract your dog from fireworks

If you are at home, build a “shelter”.

Dogs love secluded places where they can easily get away from noise. This will make the animal feel safer.

Place favorite toys and treats in the shelter to distract your pet from the noise outside.

During fireworks, close and curtain the windows.

Turn on the TV and music. After all, familiar sounds help you not to pay attention to strangers.

If you are outside, try to cover your dog and hold it tightly so that the animal does not run away.

If you know that fireworks will start soon, go home as quickly as possible or do not go outside with your animal.
