Petárda – kutya – szilveszter

A következőket javasoljuk:

• Zárja be a nyitott ablakot, húzzuk be a függönyt mert a kutyának nem csak a hallása a látása is kitűnő!
• Sok vizet hagyjon az itatóban, ha ideges a kedvenc, tudjon inni bőven.
• Étel is lehet bőven, ha enni kíván,  hogy a stressz kompenzálódjon.
• Hagyja bekapcsolva a rádiót, lehetőleg kicsit hangosabban a szokásosnál, hogy az ismert beszéd vagy zene elvonja a figyelmet.
• A legjobb megoldás mindezek mellett, hogy valaki maradjon otthon a kutyussal.

A nem városi vagy nem lakásban élő kutyáknál kicsit nehezebb a helyzet.

• Ha a gazdi tudja, akkor vigye be a garázsba, fészerbe, csűrbe, hátsó helyiségbe.
• Fontos! Az új, szokatlan helyre bezárt kutya ijedt, ideges.
• Ne kössük meg!

Ha elvisszük a kedvencünket szilveszter délután vagy este sétálni:

• Minden kutya csak pórázon sétáljon.
• A nyakörvön, hámon legyen telefonszám, elérhetőség, ha esetleg elveszne, értesíteni tudjanak.
• A nagyon félénk ideges kutyáknak írassunk fel az állatorvossal nyugtatót. (Szedalin)

Ha mégis megtörténne a baj, Budapesten a kutyák után az Illatos úti állatmenhelyen lehet érdeklődni. (cím: Budapest IX., Illatos u. 23/A. Tel.: 280-6832)

Nekem is van kutyám, aki az idén velem szilveszterezik, ő meg is kapja a törődést. És én nem a petárdázókat okolom, hanem vigyázok rá.

Dog scared of fireworks?

Fireworks, thunder and gunshot noise were the most common triggers of fear and many dogs actually exhibit more than just one noise phobic issue.

Dog Fireworks Fear Symptoms
A few signs that your canine is scared of fireworks include:

• inability to eat,
• shaking or trembling,
• pacing or restlessness,
• seeking close proximity to the owner,
• shelter seeking (to hide),
• excessive salivation,
• heavy panting,
• increased yawning,
• fear positioning (tail tucked, ears back, cringing),
• destructive behavior (chewing or scratching),
• self-mutilation (nervous chewing or licking),
• loss of bladder or bowel control,
• anal gland discharge,
• vomiting,
• stress related vocalizations (whining, howling, barking),
• attempts to escape (bolting or running blindly).

Dog Fireworks Fear Safety Tips

• Keep your animals primarily inside during firework displays and for a few days to a week prior to and just after the holiday.
• Make sure you have a tag with current information on your pet during this time.
• Tire your pet out with good amounts of exercise the days you expect firework displays.
• Tryptophan helps to relax and calm animals. It is found in turkey and pet supplements. Consider adding it to the diet as a temporary aid.
• If you take your animal outside for toileting or any other activity, make sure they are under physical restraint via a collar and leash.
• Leave your pets safely at home instead of taking them to picnics or other holiday events.
• Play music or turn on a radio station with soothing music to help mask outside noises.
• Buy a plug-in Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) dispenser. This permeates the air with a calming scent and reduces fear and anxiety.
• Keep your pet busy with activities or chew items before the height of noise making occurs.
• Visit your veterinary medical professional and ask for aids such as melatonin. This oral neurohormone often provides help for sensitive animals. Use with the veterinarians dosage recommendation and don’t try to do it yourself.
• Flower remedies are sometimes helpful and work on an energetic level. Five Flower® or Rescue Remedy® mixes may help reduce your pets anxiety. A holistic veterinarian can guide you on alternative options.
• Create a safe haven. If your animal is habituated to a crate you may want to provide confinement for security. Other options you may have available include the bathroom, laundry room, garage, basement, or any other “den” area. The room to choose is one where there are no windows to jump through, or where windows can be blocked off and that are too high and narrow to access.
• Some animals want to hide and will feel safe in a favorite spot, like under the bed. You can create sleeping bag tunnel or similar option for them.
• Plan a party and play at home instead of participating in other events. Making new traditions can be fun and helpful for your pet.
• Consider boarding your pet at a professional kennel for the holiday.
