Fireworks may be fun for humans, but every year they create havoc for animals.
Often the animals panic and end up on the road where they run the risk of being hit by cars and sometimes they’re found kilometres from their homes.
To avoid pets being placed in danger, all pet owners are advised to make certain that their animals are in a secure environment and one that they feel comfortable with.
Ideally they should be kept inside the house and if this is not possible then inside the garage or somewhere where they feel at ease and know well.
People should also make sure their pets have up to date identification on them that includes the owners’ telephone numbers. Ideally they should also be micro-chipped.
Along with securing cats and dogs people are also advised to bring guinea pig and rabbit hutches inside as well, and provide extra bedding so they can burrow and feel safe.
