Tips to help your pet through halloween

HOW TO HELP YOUR PET THROUGH HALLOWEEN
The fireworks have started for Halloween and your pets hearing is a lot more sensitive than ours so a firework would be a lot louder to your pet!!
Here are a few tips to help your pet through this period –
v  Create a darkened quiet comfortable enclosed space for the dog to sleep in and go to during fear episodes.  A crate is useful, include blankets so the dog can burrow and hide.  Cover the crate over with a heavy blanket.
v  Leave a radio playing in the room in order to create background noise which can distract your dog.
v  Close all blinds/curtains during fireworks.
v  Avoid speaking in sympathetic tones and inadvertently reinforcing the behavior.
v  Be sure not to walk your dog without a lead during this period.
v  Ensure your dog is wearing a pet tag and is micro chipped.

We also have products that are proven to reduce stress and anxiety –
v  Dap collars which your dog wears that have appeasing pheromone which helps reduce anxiety and stress.
v  Dap Diffuser which you can plug into the room.
v  Anxiety Drops which you give to your pet orally.
These are all natural products.
