Introduction
Does your dog tremble or hide when fireworks go off? You’re not alone—many dogs in Edinburgh and the Lothians struggle with firework anxiety, especially during Bonfire Night and New Year’s Eve. At Marley & Co. Pet Supplies, we’re passionate about helping your furry friends feel safe and calm, naturally.
Why Are Dogs Scared of Fireworks?
Fireworks are loud, unpredictable, and can be frightening for dogs due to their sensitive hearing. Common signs of anxiety include panting, pacing, hiding, barking, or trying to escape.
How to Prepare Your Dog for Fireworks
- Create a safe, quiet space indoors with their favourite bed or blanket.
- Close curtains and play calming music to mask loud noises.
- Walk your dog earlier in the day—before the fireworks start.
Natural Ways to Calm Your Dog
- Try our 100% natural calming treats, like Burns Moon Bones or Beef Tendons, which can help distract and soothe your dog.
- Use enrichment toys filled with healthy treats to keep them occupied.
- Consider natural supplements or calming sprays (always check with your vet first).
