Do the right thing with your Pets..Maree of LYF 4U

Maree from Carterton District

#FireworkSafety #PetCare
We all love our furry friends,
The dopermne releases we get from them with each caress.
The loyalty and offical welcome of a guard dogs.
The compannionship all pets offer, espcially if lonely.
The fun of the ball games on the lawn.
The fitness mate on long walks,
The ever present love during illness,
And yes the pouch pics in the family frames.

So please lets be sure to love and protect them, as our valued family, in the same way during #guyfawkes

Below are a few tips;
Exercise your pet, so they don’t have excess energy,
Provide food distraction, like toys, bones, long term chewing helps them
Have music playing
Keep pets inside
Close all curtains
Compression/comfort wrapping can be used
You can buy calming products to give during the fireworks season..as a precautionary.
If your pet is outside - like rabbits, ensure extra bedding like straw are added..and if possible put them in a closed space.
Your pet will try to run from their fears- be sure your pet is identifiable, eg, Tags. Chipped.
Don’t light fireworks at home- go to a professional display and keep us all safe
If you attend a professional display-keep all pets at home away from the fireworks
