As incredible as it sounds, your posture at this time will help your friend go through this easier. Since you are your pet’s guardian, you have to protect them and keep them comfortable, so they already expect this from you.

Why they are so afraid?

Now imagine you are already scared of something and this thing becomes four times bigger when you listen to it. It’s not cool, so we can relate.

Why you need to keep your pet calm during fireworks?
As most families are not at home or are travelling, some dogs end up being alone at home. When they desperately try to find a way to be safe and end up getting hurt by some broken glass of furniture which they were trying to hide under.
Some dogs could also become so much lost in fear and out of their minds that they end up escaping from their houses and lost on the streets, or being hit by a car.
