Fireworks may be fun for YOU...

Fireworks may be fun for you, but not for your pets.

Fireworks are fun, you may say. Of course they are, providing you use them sensibly. But have you ever considered your pets? Most pets are petrified of loud noises, such as fireworks, so I'm going to post some safety precautions you may use with your pets, so they don't get scared. :)

• If you are walking your dog, do NOT walk it whilst fireworks are going off. Take it for a walk early on in the day.
  
• Keep your pets in the house when you are setting off your fireworks. Even if you are not setting any off, be sure to keep your pet(s) indoors, as other people may be setting off fireworks.
  
• If your pet(s) are mostly indoors, then turn on the television to reduce the noise level heard by the pet, and to make it feel asthough it is in it's home environment. If your pet is sensitive to loud noises, this is also a good measure.
  
• Close the curtains and windows inside your house. Try and let the least amount of sound and/or light into your house.
  
• If you have one, keep your pet in a carrier with minimum light entry (for example, a front cage door) to ensure noise and light reduction.
  
• If your pet does get scared, do not shout at it or talk to it in a loud voice. This will simply make the pet more stressed and worried.

In all, I hope you all have a great fireworks night, I can't wait until tomorrow, I just hope the weather is good. :p
