Keeping our Pets Safe this Guy Fawkes If your pet gets worried with all the loud bangs, whizzes, pops and screeches, then try these things to alleviate their anxiety: Walk your dog earlier in the evening, so that you are home well before dusk, and bring your cat inside in plenty of time. Make a den for your dog or cat, a cardboard box with a blanket inside is usually sufficient. If your dog normally has a crate, then cover it with large blankets. Turn some music on so there is a constant sound inside. Pull the curtains so they can’t see anything. If your pet is still unsettled, pop in and talk to us about other options. Products like Feliway for cats and Adaptil for dogs are extremely helpful for stress and anxiety, and are available without prescription from us. There is also a great deal on these products in store now.
This time of year can cause many troubles for us as pet owners, with Guy Fawkes rapidly approaching, and it’s never just one night to get through with many people keeping some for birthdays, Christmas and New Years.
There are medical options we can try but we need to examine your pet first, so try all the easy stuff first; but as always, we are here to help you and your pets, so pop in and discuss your concerns with us and together we can find a solution that works for everyone.
