Many domestic pets can become scared during fireworks displays. Dogs are particularly at risk.
There are a number of ways that pet owners can lessen the chance of their pet becoming upset during fireworks in the city:
- Bring dogs indoors if possible.
- Keep dogs calm by remaining calm yourself.
- Avoid using a chain or slip collar to restrain them.
- Make sure your pet is registered or microchipped and fully identifiable if they escape.
