🎆 **NEW YEAR’S EVE PET SAFETY** 🎆
While we’re celebrating, our pets can find fireworks terrifying. Here’s how to help them cope:
**Before the fireworks:**
- Exercise them during the day so they’re tired
- Create a safe, quiet space with familiar bedding
- Close windows and curtains to muffle sounds
- Consider calming music or white noise
**During fireworks:**
- Stay calm yourself - pets pick up on our anxiety
- Never force them to face their fear
- Keep them inside with ID tags on (just in case)
- Provide distraction with puzzle toys or treats
**If your pet struggles:** Talk to your vet about anxiety management options.
