Many of your pets may have already been terrified by early fireworks. There are various methods you can try to alleviate the terror that some dogs (and other animals suffer) at this time, but however you manage the problem, this weekend coming promises to be one of the worst of the year for firework fear.

Regardless of how your dog (or cat maybe too) copes there are a few basics that are worth checking in case the worst happens and your pet escapes you or your property from sheer terror. Please check not only that your pet’s collar is tight enough to stay on if he/she should become scared, but also check that the ID tag is both attached and fully legible too. Many tags suffer worn engraving over time and they become virtually illegible. If you use the barrel type of ID please check that it’s intact and still complete with the vital contents. If you have moved home did you remember to re-register your pet’s microchip details to the new address and phone number or indeed replace the ID tag with one bearing up to date details?
