Firework Survival Guide for Dogs
Practical strategies to help your dog feel safe, calm, and supported this fireworks season.
Why fireworks are frightening for dogs
Fireworks may be exciting for us, but for dogs they often mean fear and panic. Loud bangs, flashes of light, and unfamiliar smells can overwhelm their senses. Up to 50% of dogs show signs of stress during fireworks — shaking, hiding, pacing, destruction, or even attempting to escape.
Left untreated, this fear can worsen over time and develop into a full phobia. But with the right preparation, you can change your dog’s experience.
