Tips for pet owners during Firework season

As today is Bonfire night, many homes in Bucks will be hearing fireworks outside their window.

However, it can be a potentially traumatic experience for our furry friends.

If you have a dog, here are some tips to keep them calm this Guy Fawkes provided by the RSPCA:

• Walk them during the day, before fireworks go off.

• Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks

• Put on some music or tv to mask the firework sounds

• Create a quiet space where your dog can feel in control

• Stay calm, as your emotions can influence your pet
