Pets & Fireworks – keeping them safe & happy

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we thought it best to put together some tips for keeping your pet safe this new years night.

Each year, hundreds of pets and wildlife become stressed and anxious due to the festivities of new years eve – mainly due to fireworks.

Fireworks can be a scary phenomenon for animals and it is our job to keep them calm and safe.

Here are a few of our top tips to help keep your pet safe this new year:

  • Make sure all doors and windows are securely closed
  • Make their crate (or other favourite hiding spot) readily available
  • Keep an eye on guests if you have a party! Visitors may not be as vigilant and could forget and leave a door open
  • When entertaining, keep your pets in a separate and quiet room
  • Make sure your property is free of debris, especially if your pet has access to your yard
  • Consider a Thundershirt if your pet is fear prone
  • Consider an appointment with your vet to discuss possible anti-anxiety medication
  • Ensure your pet’s ID tags and microchip details are up to date. If you need help with this just give us a call!
  • Make sure your pet has plenty of water access
  • If you have to leave your pet, make sure they have their favourite toys with them

    I brought my cat to Lynbrook Vet for desex and general check up plus micro chip. I was very nervouse since it was my first time in my life having a pet. But the Vet staff were very welcoming and pleasant. They gave me assurance and also … More fed me with lots of information. They kept updating me with beautiful massages and my cat's photoes regulerly which was very kind of them. They made the begining of tgis journey very pleasant for me. Their prices are aslo good and they provide very profissional sevice.

    Originally I was just calling the vet to get some advice on the signs and symptoms my cat was experiencing while sick as I had no idea what it was. But this vet went above and beyond before I had even arrange an appointment with them and … More was extremely accommodating. With all their help it really made me feel comfortable with leaving my baby (cat) with them for a surgery she ended up needing. The entire process of her pre-surgery and during and post-surgery I received updates and calls. They have the compassion other vets lack and you can tell they genuinely enjoy their jobs. I will be making the frequent 25 minute travel/drive to go back here for my cat. I can't recommend this place enough (I usually only do reviews if I've had a bad experience) I will be telling all my friends and family to go here. Bonus, they even make check up calls/text to ensure that everything is fine with your animals.

    From initial phone call to book an appointment to leaving after the appointment, there was kindness shown to my beloved cat the entire time. I was nervous as I'd had some challenging visits to other vets years ago, but everything was … More considered for both my kitty and I. Cannot recommend the team more highly.
