The bright flashes and loud bangs of fireworks might be exciting for humans, but can be really scary for animals. This is because it’s difficult for them to understand that they aren’t in danger when they hear/see them, and their senses are much better than ours – so they experience fireworks much more intensely than we do!
Signs of fear in dogs
- Trembling and shaking
- Panting
- Barking
- Pacing
- Cowering and hiding behind furniture
- Being clingy
- Trying to run away
- Destructive behaviour e.g. chewing furniture
- Toileting in the house
- Refusing to eat
- Small changes in their normal behaviour – some dogs don’t show such obvious signs
