FIREWORKS AND PETS DON’T  MIX
Fireworks displays are  immense fun for all  young and old, and everybody
anxiously look out for the  season for it so they could enjoy the shows during
the season. There are fireworks for weddings and there are fireworks for events
that people love to celebrate  with aplomb. Whatever would be the reason, a
salve of fireworks  adds a special feel to the celebrations.
HOW TO HAVE FUN WITH FIREWORKS  WHEN YOU HAVE PETS
There is no secret that most of the pets shun firecrackers,  both for the fact
that it is fire and for the sound they emanate. Particularly  dogs become highly
distressed when the season for fireworks  commences. Fortunately, there are
measures with which you could ensure that your  pet’s inconvenience is reduced
to the minimum possible level. Check out the  following:
DAP  diffuser, you need to have one installed and functional round the clock
about  2-3 weeks before the season or your celebration starts. This would be
pacifying  the dog and make it more confident and relaxed when faced with the
actual fireworks displays.    	*Simulation  of sound, it is good if you rent a
few CDs which have authentic sounds of the fireworks displays and play them a
few times at full  volume in the house so your pet would understand there is no
such danger in it.    	*Hiding  place, most dogs and even other pets need a
place to hide when fireworks displays start where they could feel safe.  Make
sure your pet has one such hiding place, this could be a closet or a  bathroom,
or under the bed in the bedroom, and so on.    	*Ignore  the fearful behavior, 
many people over indulge their pets when they are afraid  of the fireworks
displays. This would rather  encourage such behavior; hence, even though it
would be hard for those who love  their pets dearly, try to ignore or play down
their fearful attitude.   	*Feeding  your pet,  fireworks for events or
fireworks for weddings would have a pre-determined  time fixed and announced.
Ensure that your pet has eaten at least an hour  before the fireworks displays
start.    	*Have  mild sedatives administered, you could ask a homeopathic
doctor to give some  mild sedatives for your pet so they could be calm and
sleepy when the fireworks for events are unleashed.   	*Have  plenty of water
available, the pet would definitely not eat when it is scared  but sometimes
they look for water. Ensure that their water bowl is full and the  water is
fresh.   	*Comforting  surroundings, if the dog or pet has anything that they
like a lot, have these  things around them, like their favorite blanket, toys,
basket, etc. This would  also calm them down and comfort them when they are
distressed.
WHAT ABOUT OUTSIDE ANIMALS
When fireworks for weddings  and other such major events are planned, ensure
that they are done in such  places where they do not disturb the animals that
live in their natural  habitat. For example, if the wedding or celebration takes
place in a park,  which is nowadays a hot favorite, ensure that the fireworks 
do not harm the birds and others animals that may live in the park, such as
squirrels.
If the fireworks displays  are done on a farm, ensure that the celebration is as
far as possible from the  animals’ shed. Very often the impact of the
fireworks  would make hens stop giving eggs or cows stop giving milk for
sometime if they  become stressed by it.
ALTERNATIVES TO PROTECT YOUR PETS
In case it is possible try to keep the fireworks displays as far away from where
your pet is  as possible – this could mean you would send the pet for a few
days to a friend  or relative. You could ask a shelter home to take care of it
for a couple of  days or you could have closed in a room where the sound would
be least  penetrating.
Whatever type of fireworks –  whether they are fireworks for weddings or for 
any other event, you could take all precautions to ensure that your pet is safe 
and protected from stress as much as possible. Only then you could really enjoy 
the wonderful exhibition of the fireworks displays without any qualms.
