Fireworks!

[Guest samstheman]

It's that time of year again,dammit! Fireworks-hate them! We have some pups that are 6 weeks old today, and as usual at this time of year, people rejoice at buying a box of explosives and letting them off at the bottom of their gardens, regardless of the poor animals that reside in the neighbourhood. How do you prepare your pets for this noisy and, at times, scary time of year? Goddammmit, they scare the s**t out of me sometimes!

Any tips on how to deal with this situation would be most welcome

hi

if i were you id just make sure the dogs couldnt see them and then put a radio on or something so that it blocks some of the noise.

oh i wouldnt leave them in the dark if possible otherwise the flashing lights might spook them.

luckily all our dogs are fine.

hope it helps

i bought a cd with loud noises on a few days ago for my pup and have it playing here now, she doesnt seem bothered by it so hope she will be ok with the real thing. dont want her going like the terrier he hates them.

i bring mine into the house and they watch tv with us.. its the only time they get to try out the sofa ...... if you do nothin about it you will find that if they werent gun shy before then they will be now..

if the dog is in the house or if you have electricty in the kennels you can buy a plug in calmers from the pet shop it does take a couple of days to kick in but its worked with mine

its the same hear i was out with my dog last night over a park by me and in the distance i could see a sort of a lite thought nothing of it until a f****g fire work nearly hit me dont think my dog likes them too much but i dont think she will mind

Tried doping my bitch up from the vet but if you look into it their still totally aware of whats going on and remain stressed to hell, just cant show it or do anything. Tried plug in calmer and was useles. Loud television/radio helps to distract but they still get stressed. Remember their hearing is better than ours. My wife found out off the internet that what works for a lot of dogs (not all) is ' Back Rescue Remedy' from Boots/most chemists. We give our lurcher four drops which calms her right down. Its ony approx 5 pounds and lasts ages. Alos dont show them any attention as this has a negative affect.

i must admit i'm lucky as my dogs are outside but pay no attention to fireworks and just carry on sleeping ACP used to be a good sedative to help calm dogs down although I don't know if its still distributed by vets???

Fe****s are going off again! wouldn't be so bad if they were only allowed on Nov 5th as per Guy's instructions

Our poor wee dogs

Good topic

 

I can't believe they sell fireworks so early and it always seems to be the arseholes who manage to get them early too.

 

Fooking ban fireworks unless an organised display I say - At least you can plan around the time the display is on and if necessary bugger off with the dogs etc or bring them in the house so the double glazing takes a bit of the noise out.

 

It's not beyond the realms of possibility for manufacturers to make fireworks quieter.

Hear Hear!!!!!!!! Stick the biggest,loudest rocket up the holes of the arses who let them off and see how they like it :11:

So far only had a couple here *tocuh wood* and my greyhound just looked around a bit ,eyes rolling then soon settled..at one time he would have flipped panting,shaking,drooling ect ect.

 

Last year and when he had the "airplane episode" i taught him scarey noises bring sausages :thumbs-up:

 

Best of luck to you all your dogs over the coming shitty few months ahead
