Boom Time

Since it is time once again  (at least here in america) for fireworks, I wanted to remind people to take extra good care of your sensitive animals as the loudness can be seriously nerve wracking. Here are some things you can do depending on your animal:

covering the animal with a blanket or if a dog putting a t-shirt on them

give them rescue remedy/five flower formula (can drop it on their fur) no need to try and wrangle it into the mouth. i would also put it in their water for this series of days when fireworks are likely to be happening.

give them calms forte for kids (adjust dosage based on size of your animal)

may be obvious but keep them inside at night

some animals are calmed by touch/massage/body contact
light massaging of the tips of the ears can be calming

and if you are also unnerved by the fireworks your animals are likely to pick up on that so be sure and take care of yourself, too.
