"For example it's an animal's natural instinct to hide, so getting them inside and creating a 'den' of favourite blankets, beds and toys will help them feel safe"
Here are some further top tips to help reduce the stress in your household during Guy Fawkes:
Walk your dog earlier in the evening to tire them out.
Keep your pets inside with their bed, favourite toys and the curtains closed.
Feed them before the fireworks start; a full stomach should help them relax and make them sleepy.
Turn on music or the TV to disguise the noise.
Keep your feline friend inside by keeping their cat door locked.
Ensure your pet is microchipped, has a collar and ID tag, in case they run from your property when they are scared.
For small pets and birds partially cover their cages or enclosures with a blanket.
