Firework parties can be great fun but not always enjoyable for our pets.

Some simple measures such as keeping your pet inside when fireworks are likely, providing a safe haven and masking the noise by keeping the pet in a room with curtains and blinds closed with background music can be effective but behaviour modification and medication may also be needed.
