Keep pets safe from fireworks

Basically, do not make a fuss -do not encourage fear- but make doggie/kitty feel safe:

[quote]Keeping cats and dogs secure
•Make sure your dog or cat always has somewhere to hide if he or she wants to and has access to this place at all times. For example this could be under some furniture or in a cupboard.
•During firework seasons, walk dogs during daylight hours and keep cats and dogs indoors when fireworks are likely to be set off.
•At nightfall close windows and curtains and put on music to mask and muffle the sound of fireworks.
•If your pet shows any signs of fear try to ignore their behaviour. Leave them alone unless they are likely to harm themselves.
•Never punish or fuss over your pet when it’s scared as this will only make things worse in the long run.
•Make sure your cat or dog is always kept in a safe and secure environment and can’t escape if there’s a sudden noise. Have your pet microchipped in case they do escape.
Do not take your pet to firework displays!! Pets have been known to bolt from owners once the show begins only to be hit by cars in their mad dash to find somewhere to hide.

Remember it gets worse before it gets better.

Mine are actually used to it because around here it’s continues throughout the year, even in the middle of the night like 2:30-3:00 AM … for some unknown reasons people think it’s necessary to shoo away bad spirits and keep people awake and scare pets.
