Keep your dogs and pets safe tonight

November 5th, 2008 | by mitzi |

Today is the 5th November and here in the UK we all know what that means… fireworks, bonfires etc.

Lots of loud bangs, noises, flashes and screeches throughout the night into the early hours. It might be enjoyable for some of us humans, but for the dogs and animals it is sheer terror. I have a friend who’s dog is that frightened of the bangs it has to have a sedative from the vet, poor thing.

It might be my imagination but I’m sure the supermarkets started selling goodies for tonight many months ago. The reason why I think this is because when I’ve been walking my little Westie in the evening all of a sudden a loud bang or flash appears from behind a house or building. Unfortunately these bangs went off yesterday evening and our Westie dog Mitzi stopped dead in her tracks and froze. I tried to coax her along but she wasn’t having any of it. I ended up carrying her home! That’s right, carrying her! The bang made me jump, so I don’t know how it must of affected our Westies ears.

So tonight of all nights in the UK, please oh please ensure that your dogs, cats and pets are kept indoors at all times. If you are going out to a party, try leaving the radio or TV on as to blank out the noise outside so it won’t affect your pet.
