Make sure you're prepared for the impact of FIREWORKS on your pet(s) - see the advice below or click on the PDF document at the foot of the page (which you can download or print as you wish) - just use the buttons on the top right hand side of document view page below...
Make sure that dogs and cats are indoors, and any pets that live outside, such as rabbits, are covered up with thick blankets or old carpet.
Don’t fuss or try to reassure your dog when he is scared as this rewards the behaviour and actually reinforces it. Stay relaxed and carry on as though nothing is happening. However, rewarding calm behaviour with some fuss or a treat can be helpful.
Pheromones are substances that are released by bitches to reassure their puppies and it has been shown that these reassuring properties persist into adulthood. Trials have shown an 80% improvement in the clinical signs most frequently observed by owners such as panting, trembling, cowering & hiding.
Adaptil is available in three forms:
1.Diffuser: £28.42. One diffuser is enough for one floor of a two-bedroomed house. £23.86 for a refill.
2. Spray: £28.08. This is particularly useful for a more local effect when sprayed onto the dog’s bed. It can be used
as a back-up to the diffuser.
3. Collar: £28.50/26.92, depending on size. The collar has obvious benefits because it is on the dog at all times.
4. Tablets: £10.00/10 tablets. These work more-or-less straight away.
Like Adaptil, this is a natural product which helps to control stress in dogs. It contains a derivative of the bitch’s milk protein, casein. The dose is given once daily. It is palatable and easy to give, either whole or mixed with the food. It comes in three sizes.

As a last resort, we can prescribe other suitable medication for your dog. Please contact us in good time, as you may need to discuss this with a vet, and your dog may need a health check first.
