Are you ready to keep your pets safe and secure tonight? 🎇

Tonight is the most traumatic night for our pets and wildlife. Please ensure you’re doing all you can to keep your pets safe 🐾

🐾 Territory Day is fast approaching – please plan ahead for your pets 🎆

Fireworks can be extremely stressful for many pets, so if your pet has previously struggled with fireworks or loud noises, now is the time to start preparing.

If you think your pet may need sedatives or prescription medication, please contact us as soon as possible. These need to be assessed and prescribed by a veterinarian, and supplies and appointment can become limited as the day gets closer.

In the meantime, here are some practical ways to help your pets cope:

🏠 Create a safe space
Set up a quiet, secure room inside your home where your pet feels comfortable. Close windows, blinds, and doors to reduce noise and flashes.

🔊 Mask the noise
Use white noise, a fan, TV, or calming music to help drown out fireworks sounds.

🦴 Provide distractions
Long-lasting treats, puzzle feeders, or favourite toys can help shift their focus.

🚶 Walk dogs early
Exercise dogs earlier in the day before fireworks begin, and keep them securely inside once evening approaches.

🔒 Check safety
Make sure gates, fences, and windows are secure. Ensure your pet is microchipped (details are up to date) and wearing ID tags in case they become frightened and escape.

📅 Plan ahead
Don’t leave it until the last minute—appointments and medications become very limited in the days leading up to Territory Day.

If you’re unsure what your pet might need, please get in touch with the clinic and we’ll be happy to help guide you.

Let’s work together to keep our pets safe and as stress-free as possible this Territory Day ❤️🐾
