More pets disappear during this week-end than any other time of the year! People may love the visual and audio celebration of fireworks but cats and dogs have no idea what is going on and instinctively run and hide from loud noise and vibrant lights in the sky. If you think your dog is going to enjoy a BBQ sausage and a twilight display…think again!
The best thing you can do for your pets on the eve of Victoria Day and Memorial Day long weekends is to ensure they are safely secured in an area they are familiar and happy with; making sure all windows and doors are securely locked. If you are home with your pet and their anxiety increases try shutting the curtains, turning up the music and acting as if nothing is happening. If the condition increases try a Thundershirt. www.thundershirt.com
Everyone wants to celebrate, but remember our Pets don’t understand what is happening so need extra special TLC.
