Woodland Veterinary Centre Offers Advice During Fireworks Displays

Woodlands Veterinary Centre in Ivybridge has launched a campaign to help pet owners protect animals from stress caused by seasonal fireworks displays.

Clients are being contacted directly with advice, and those with particular concerns about their dog's anxiety are welcome to speak to the friendly reception team and book an appointment.

The initiative aims to raise awareness of the impact fireworks can have on pets and provide practical guidance to help navigate the season safely.

Studies show that nearly half of all dogs exhibit signs of fear when exposed to fireworks.

For most pets, simple changes at home are enough to settle their nerves.

However, some pets may experience more severe fear or noise phobia.

This can be harder to manage, but treatment is possible.

The team at Woodlands Veterinary Centre shares the following advice: You can use blankets, toys, and familiar scents, and their water should be moved nearby.
