How to Keep Your Dog Calm During Fireworks Season

How to Keep Your Dog Calm During Fireworks Season

As the days grow shorter and the nights are filled with festive lights, Bonfire Night can be a stressful time for our four-legged friends. While we might love the excitement of fireworks, many dogs experience anxiety and fear when those loud noises and bright flashes fill the sky. If your dog struggles with anxiety, especially around this time of year, preparing ahead is essential. At Betty & Butch, we’ve curated a range of natural calming products to help your dog feel safe and secure during this challenging season.

Understanding Firework Anxiety in Dogs

Firework anxiety is common in dogs due to their heightened senses, making them more sensitive to loud noises. Signs of firework anxiety can include:

• Trembling or shaking
• Hiding or seeking comfort in unusual places
• Pacing or restlessness
• Barking or whining excessively

Dogs rely on us to help them cope, and our calming products are designed to make this period less overwhelming for both you and your pup.

Tips for Easing Your Dog’s Firework Anxiety

In addition to using calming products, there are other ways you can help your dog feel safe during fireworks:

• Create a safe space: Set up a quiet, cozy area where your dog can retreat if they feel anxious.
• Use white noise: Play calming music or white noise to help drown out the sound of fireworks.
• Stay calm: Dogs often feed off our energy, so try to remain calm and comforting during fireworks displays.
