Caring Pets and Pyrotechnics

Caring Pets and PyrotechnicsPets do not always celebrate on the holiday of the year. Pyrotechnics makes these dates are not the best for them.

Is that animals have the sense of hearing more sensitive than the human being. The typical noise resembling a firecracker, for them, the thunder, the beginning of a storm. Thus, pets think the noise of the fireworks is the beginning of a storm that did not foresee environmentally. And therefore, puts them in a situation of vulnerability and insecurity.

How to help

The behavior indicated to care for pets during the holidays is different for dogs or cats. Cats should have a safe place to wait out the time of the fireworks. For example, a cabinet in which there is nothing that can break with an unexpected reaction or objects dangerous to its own integrity.

For dogs, however, there are more options to consider. The first thing to decide is whether left alone or not.

If you decide to leave it alone, do not tie it or leave it where it may be damaged. For example, terraces with skylights, terraces or balconies where there is a low railing, rooms glazed areas with potentially dangerous objects (tools, sharp objects, cutting, lamps and bottles).

However, if the owner decides to take him to another house not to be overprotective of manifestations of fear of the animal. It’s good to be indifferent because the animal thinks, “if my alpha wolf scared me when I have pets, it’s okay to be afraid. But if he shows indifference, means no danger.”

This does not mean that you should not pay attention, but let’s not exaggerate. It is preferable to indifference to overacting.
