Dogs On Bonfire Night

[ashley ross]

This time of year can be a worrying and confusing one for your dog,
occurrences like bonfire night don't happen very often and that's what
makes it a lot scarier for your dog or puppy.
Dogs do not like unfamiliarity's and all the flashes and sudden bangs
can make your dog extremely scared and afraid of what is happening.
Unfortunately there have been many cases of deaths on bonfire night
over the last ten years so it's a must to keep an eye on your pet at
this time of the year and any other similar time such as New Years
Eve.
Accidents and injuries happen on bonfire night because of dogs or
puppies being loose outside and the unfamiliar sounds and flashes
causing them to go into a panic and running away from home, running
into roads, or getting stuck in tight spaces trying to hide from the
noises.
Fortunately, there are rules and advice that can be followed to
prevent times like these and keep your dog in safe hands. To begin you
will need to stop your pet being out at night and keep them reassured
indoors and away from their outdoor home if they have one. This should
be done from one week before the event to one week after the event so
no fireworks before or after will scare them into trouble....
