Close windows and doors, and pull the curtains to help muffle the sound of firecrackers. Playing calming music or white noise can help reduce anxiety caused by loud sounds.

Pets pick up on our emotions. Stay calm, avoid fussing over them too much, and offer treats to distract and comfort them.

Walk your dog early, before firecrackers start, so they’re less likely to be startled while outside.

Just in case they run off out of fear, having an ID tag with your contact information can help ensure they’re returned safely.

Consider anxiety wraps or vests, which apply gentle pressure and can help some pets feel more secure.

Fireworks are not only loud but emit harmful chemicals. Keep pets indoors and away from any fireworks, including sparklers, which can injure them.

If your pet has extreme anxiety, ask your vet for advice on possible calming supplements or medications to help them stay relaxed.

Diwali decorations like rangoli powder, diyas, and fairy lights can be hazardous if pets ingest or knock them over, so keep these out of reach.
