Welcome to part three of our three part series on preparing your dog for Bonfire Night and fireworks season. So with a few days to go until Bonfire Night, in this video we're going to talk about things you can do on the day to keep your dog safe.
The first thing you want to do is make sure your dog is walked earlier in the day, even well before it starts to get towards sunset. Remember that sometimes fireworks can start going off even before it's dark so it's always better to walk your dog as early as possible. Once it does get dark, get your dog inside and try to avoid bathroom breaks. I also recommend keeping your blinds and curtains closed to really minimise any noise or flashes of light from outside. It can also be helpful to play calming music or leave your TV running to also help drown out the noise.
If your dog does become stressed out by the fireworks remember that it's perfectly OK to comfort them. In our last couple of videos, we talked about introducing the Scullcap & Valerian Tablets to support with your dog's anxiety. But another go-to for me is the Valerian Compound which can be used as a top-up.
This is really, really helpful if your dog is actively experiencing stress or if you need an extra boost. It's really useful to give this to your dog on the day.
