Tips to help keep pets safe during firework displays

18th Feb 2025

Fireworks are planned for around 8pm at the Guyra Show and while they are a welcome attraction for humans, the same isn’t true for our furry friends. Just like thunderstorms, the loud, unexpected noise of fireworks can cause extreme distress for our pets.
Here are some tips to keep your pets comfortable:
• If you can, stay home to be with your pet and try to keep them secured indoors. Alternatively, you could consider asking a friend, family member or pet sitter to be around if your animal has a particularly difficult time with fireworks.
• Ensure you have provided your dogs and cats with everything they need during the day in the lead-up to any fireworks.
• Provide access to any areas your dog or cat will want to hide.
• Take measures to reduce the impact of flashing lights and noise such as closing curtains and blinds and providing some background noise.
• Play canine or feline-specific calming soundtracks or leave the television or radio on to distract from the sound of the fireworks.
• Use canine or feline synthetic pheromone products in their resting area to provide reassurance and encourage a sense of calm.
• Ensure your pet has a microchip with up-to-date details and an ID tag, as pets could potentially flee and escape your property in an attempt to avoid the noise of the fireworks.
