Loud bangs, explosions, unexpected noises and darker nights can all contribute to making your pet dog or cat feel extremely stressed and anxious. The RSPCA estimate that 45% of dogs in the UK show signs of fear when they hear fireworks.

This year Broadwindsor Fun Group are holding a firework display at Broadwindsor’s Cricket Ground at 7pm on Friday, 5th November. Both Councillor Simon Christopher and Broadwindsor House have sponsored this event.

You may already know that your pet is scared of fireworks from previous years or you may have a new pet and this could be their first experience of fireworks.

Tips to calm dogs:

Walk them during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set 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.
Create some hiding places around your home.

Cats:

Provide hiding places in your home.
Cats can become more stressed if they’re outside during fireworks.
Make sure your cats are microchipped in case they’re startled and escape outside.

There are medications (Pheromone diffusers, sprays and collars ) that can be prescribed and purchased, but they don’t have an immediate effect. Talk to your vet as far in advance of Fireworks Night as you can.

The morning after a nearby fireworks display, check your garden for any fallout or shrapnel which may pose a risk. Fireworks contain highly toxic ingredients that can be fatal to your pet if accidentally eaten, so remember to stay extra vigilant during fireworks season.

It’s not just animals in the home that can be scared of fireworks – horses can be too.

Please don’t let off fireworks in your garden – go to an organised display 🙂

On Saturday 12th June 2021 there will be a Conservation Day for ‘Project Lugger’ a charity they support whose aims are exceedingly simple in their aim and extremely difficult in their execution. Project Lugger is a charity organisation created to stop/prevent the cruel killing of the lugger falcon.

Popular methods used to kill these innocent birds consist of using deadly traps out in the desert or using them as ‘lure birds’, to catch more ‘impressive, substantial’ falcons. The campaign was set up in May 2017 by U.K. falconer – Bob Dalton. The aim is to halt the decline of the species and where possible, when circumstances permit, help with repopulation by reintroduction and species management. You can support/sponsor Project Lugger HERE.
