Help your pet stay calm during firework and holiday season
Loud noises, travel, or routine changes can unsettle your pet. Learn how to support their calm with expert tips and natural solutions.
Recognising signs of emotional discomfort in animals
Animals can feel uneasy during loud events like fireworks or storms. They may also feel uneasy when traveling, visiting the vet, or being left alone. These changes disrupt their sense of comfort and routine.
Common distresses include unfamiliar environments, car journeys, or your separation from them. Knowing what causes discomfort can help you notice it early. This lets you take easy steps to support your pet’s emotional wellbeing.
Signs your pet is feeling unsettled
Look for signs like, hiding, restlessness, excessive barking, or changes in eating and toileting. Some animals may cling to you more than usual, while others may withdraw. These behaviours often signal that your companion feels unsettled. Recognising the early signs helps you take calm, confident action when they need you most.
How to calm a pet during stressful situations
- Keep their environment calm and predictable. Use soothing music, calming routines, and safe spaces.
- Exercise and playtime also help release tension. For fireworks or travel, prepare in advance with calming tools or gentle, natural remedies.
- Use RESCUE Pets to support with your animals emotional balance with a blend of 5 Dr’ Bachs Flower Remedies. Available as chews or droppers for daytime support and night droppers for support during sleep.
If symptoms persist and become, always consult your vet. Early support can make all the difference for your pet’s long term wellbeing.
