• If possible, walk your dogs during daylight hours when the risk of firework noise is far lower
• Keep pets indoors as soon as the outdoor light starts to fade
• Close the curtains and put on music to mask the sound of the fireworks
• If using fireworks at home, keep your pets in a room which is as far away from the noise as possible during the display, or perhaps, take them to a pet sitter
• If your pet is distressed don’t be tempted to constantly cuddle or comfort them, this could be seen as rewarding their fearful behaviour. Try to play with them as a distraction technique: buy a new toy or pet treats in advance of the night. Reward them with pet treats when they settle down
• Ensure your pet is microchipped just in case they escape
