New Year's Eve and Fireworks: A Survival Guide for Cats and Dogs

While New Year's Eve is a joyful occasion for us, it can be stressful for pets due to the loud noises and bright lights of fireworks. Cats and dogs have much more acute hearing than humans, so the sounds of fireworks seem much louder and scarier to them. To help your pets have a calm New Year's Eve, it is important to prepare them in advance by tiring them out with a walk or play, feeding them earlier, and creating a safe space where they can hide. During the fireworks, keep your pets indoors, reduce noise and light, and remain calm to reassure them.
