Short answer

Help your dog through fireworks and loud events by walking earlier in the day, closing windows and curtains, playing background noise, offering a safe hiding spot and making sure ID tags and microchip info are current.

Before the noise

Walk early and use a secure harness. Escapes spike around fireworks.

During the noise

  • A quiet interior room or covered crate
  • White noise or music
  • Chews or food puzzles

Talk to your vet

If your dog panics, your vet can discuss options ahead of time.
