A new study has provided an insight into how canines can suffer around the holiday season as a result of fireworks and other festive traditions
While the nation’s children are looking forward to Halloween , it is the scariest time of the year for the country’s pets.
Almost half of those who took part in the study also noted that their dog struggles to stay quiet when someone is at the door or there is noise coming from outside, which is often the case when trick-or-treaters come calling. And it’s not just on Halloween night that the terror begins for dogs as in some parts of the country fireworks are already going off on a nightly basis. In a social media poll by Dogs Trust, 68 percent of respondents said that fireworks had started in their area in September, with 11 percent stating they started as early as August.
Dogs Trust also recommends making sure your dog is wearing a collar with an ID tag attached and ensuring their microchip details are up to date, so that they can be quickly reunited should they get a fright and escape. She said: “Halloween can be one of the worst times of year for dogs who do not understand what fireworks are or when they will end, and sadly they seem to be starting earlier every year, prolonging the fear.
Dogs Trust is also reminding dog owners to beware of the toxic threats Halloween treats pose to dogs.
