Summertime brings much excitement to the family – sunshine, lazy days, and celebration. Your pet enjoys this season as well, but it can also be a scary time in the eyes of your dog, especially when it comes to loud occurrences like fireworks or thunderstorms.
Here are a few things to consider when keeping your pet safe during summer fireworks or weather.
- Create a safe place for your pet.
Often dogs that are fearful of thunderstorms or fireworks gravitate towards bathroom areas in showers or around toilets allowing dogs to have a safe place. Creating an enclosed place for them like their crate allows them to have a safe place.
- Ease the sound of fireworks or thunderstorms with a noise machine.
You can play white noise links from YouTube or a music station to help ease the sound.
- Treats can be a great way to divert attention during stressful times.
You want to pair the scary thing with treats to alleviate the stress and help make dogs less scared of those noises in the future.

That pairing the scary thing with treats is a bang up idea! I wish I’d thought of that when I had my neighbor’s German Shorthaired Pointer, for a while after he died. That little girt was a hot mess, tense, and would hide under the bed in terror during a storm- and chewed up the dust ruffle. I should have fed her treats. Much tastier. Thanks.
