When the fireworks start
Does this sound familiar?
You dread firework season
You count down the weeks, and it’s not for you. It’s because you know your dog will suffer.
The advice you find online contradicts itself
You’ve asked local groups and read the threads, and you’re still not sure who to trust.
Your dog is simply more sensitive than most
They pace, shake, hide or won’t eat, and you can tell they feel everything more deeply than other dogs.
You are not alone
Fireworks frighten almost half of UK dogs
