Why Fireworks Trigger Stress in Pets

Fireworks may be a celebration for us, but for pets, they feel like sudden, unpredictable danger. With hearing four times more sensitive than ours and an instinct to flee from loud, unfamiliar sounds, many pets experience overwhelming anxiety during firework displays. What we hear as a pop or boom, they hear as an explosion—and their bodies react accordingly.

5 Vet-Recommended Ways to Keep Your Pet Calm

  1. Create a Safe Space
    Set up a quiet, cozy area away from windows. Include their favorite blanket, bed, or toy to create a sense of comfort.
  2. Use Calming Sound
    Turn on white noise, a fan, or soft music to help drown out the noise of fireworks.
  3. Stay Close
    Your presence is one of the best calming tools. If you’re home, stay nearby and reassure them with touch and a soothing voice.
  4. Gentle Pressure
    Some dogs respond well to pressure wraps or swaddling techniques that make them feel secure.
  5. Use Natural Calming Treats
    Calming chews made with ingredients like chamomile, valerian root, and passionflower can offer safe, natural support.
