Unfortunately fireworks are already being set off and terrorising many dogs and cats. If your animal suffers from this phobia there are many things you can do to reduce the problem.

• Close curtains in all rooms as soon as it gets dark or you hear fireworks.
• Put on background noise e.g. TV or radio
• Provide a secure hide away for the animal ideally in a position away from windows and doors
• DO NOT physically comfort your dog e.g. hugging etc when it is showing signs of stress as this inadvertently reinforces the stressful behaviour.
• Try and carry on with normal activities in the house.
• Plug in a pheromone diffuser (D.A.P for dogs, Feliway for cats) in the room which contains the secure area.
• There are some very effective herbal remedies available which can be used long term over the "firework season".
