Bonfire night comes around quickly every year. As a veterinary nurse and animal behaviourist, I see lots of owners asking for help about a week or a day before bonfire night, which sadly is a bit too late.
Once the firework season has passed, work should begin on desensitisation and counter-conditioning to encourage better coping strategies in the long-term. But in the meantime, here are some tips for helping prepare your pets for the firework season now and during the event.
E-Book Contents: Signs of Fear and Distress Managing the Environment Interacting With Your Pet Diet & Medication Long-term Treatment Checklist Free Download Every year, millions of pets suffer from fear and anxiety because of the sudden loud noises and bright flashing lights of fireworks around Bonfire Night and New Year. In order to keep stress to a minimum, we should be preparing our pets as early as possible.
This E-Book provides tips and management techniques for helping our pets and includes a checklist that can be used right up to the day of the firework event. Information is also given on how to provide longer-term treatment solutions.
