Fireworks + Pets = Not a Good Time

Fireworks + Pets = Not a Good Time

Many of our pets don’t enjoy loud noises and some suffer from noise aversion and are downright terrified of any kind of commotion. If your pet trembles, furrows their brow or clings to you when they hear loud noises, they likely suffer from noise aversion.

Plan on keeping pets inside your house during the week of the Fourth of July. When you expect fireworks, give pets comfy places to hide, and play calming music or white noise to help distract them.

If your pet becomes extremely anxious when encountering loud noises, schedule an appointment at Crossroads Animal Hospital soon. There are numerous options for treating noise aversion, and we can help you find the right one in time for the Fourth of July. Give us a call at (540) 832-1751 to schedule an appointment.
