Many pets have a fireworks-associated noise phobia. If your pet exhibits anxiety or fear during fireworks displays, use techniques such as desensitization and counterconditioning in the weeks before the holidays to modify your pet’s behavior. If this training doesn’t help, contact your veterinarian to see if anti-anxiety medications or supplements can benefit your pet.
Following these tips will help prevent a veterinary emergency during the holiday season. However, should your pet need emergency or urgent care during your celebrations, contact our Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care team, and we will ensure they get the attention they need.
