🐾🎆 FIREWORKS – With the Steeple Claydon Fireworks Display on Saturday 7th November, please make arrangements for pets and other animals in advance.
A few simple precautions can really help:
• Walk dogs before dark and keep pets indoors where possible.
• Close windows, curtains and cat flaps to reduce noise and flashes.
• Give pets somewhere familiar and secure to hide.
• Use TV, radio or calming music at a comfortable volume to help mask the bangs.
• Check outdoor animals, horses and livestock are secure.
• If your pet is particularly frightened by fireworks, speak to your vet.
📻 Classic FM’s Pet Classics is also being broadcast on Saturday 7 November from 5pm–10pm, specifically to help keep animals calm during fireworks. (Classic FM)
