With Independence Day right around the corner, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to discuss noise aversion and the many ways it affects our pets. Many of us have our favorite spots in town to lay under the stars and wait for the fireworks to light up the sky, but what most people fail to think of is that our pets do not comprehend these noises and lights as fireworks; most pets think that the sky is quite literally exploding and they need to find cover ASAP or simply make a run for it! The Fourth of July has the highest rate of runaway pets, more than any other day of the year! But do not fear, there are many things you can do to help ease your pets anxiety and help you both get through this holiday together.
First thing you can do to help your pet is to identify the signs of noise aversion: -trembling or shaking -hiding -following you closely -panting or drooling -pacing or acting restless -whining or barking -trying to escape or chewing on furniture, doors, or crate -submissive urinating in the home Your pet could show just one of these signs or numerous, each pet is different. Once you've identified that your pet has a noise aversion, it is time to act. Use these tips on how to help your pet lower their anxiety: 1- Anytime there is loud noise in your neighborhood (thunder, fireworks, construction, festivals) it is advised to create "white noise". That can be a TV, a radio, or even a loud fan. Anything that can help drown out the noise from outside. 2- Create a safe place for the pet. This is somewhere they can go where they feel secure. For many pets this can be their crate, for others it can be underneath an end table or in your bed. These safe places are usually small and dark to help them feel separated from the outside world. 3- When possible, stay home with the pet to help ease their stress. You are their rock and your presence can go a long way! Do not force the pet to lay with you; only hold the pet if they approach you for comfort. Forcing them to lay during their high stress could result in a bite from the pet. 4- Sometimes medication may be necessary. There are quite a few different anti-anxiety medications and like human medications, one is not always right for every pet. It is recommended you visit your veterinarian to discuss which would be right for your pet. Pets who have noise aversions are not unlike those with separation anxiety and need to be treated with care. They are sensitive and should never be punished for these behaviors. Talk to your veterinarian if these behaviors persist and/or are getting worse. Once you have identified that your pet has a noise aversion half of the battle is already won, from there you just find what works the best for the both of you. Every human-animal bond is different, so what works for your pet might be totally different from others, but that's ok your pet is just as unique as you are! So this 4th of July let us keep our pets home and safe during the fireworks!

I have a pet cat and a dog in my house. This is actually a big issue for me because I am so worried when they start to hide, run, and freak out in our house. The last time I saw my pets freaking out was last New Year’s Eve. I knew that they would freak out, that is why I made a safe place for them in our garage. However, it didn’t work because the fireworks were so loud and can’t be stopped. Thank you for giving these tips and I will surely try all of them.

Possibly the most ignored and understated tip is your pet may need sunscreen just as much as you! Most light haired pets and those with very short haircuts need skin protection against the suns harmful rays. Human labeled sunscreen may not be right for your pet, be sure to speak with your veterinarian to ensure you have your pet protected properly.

Be careful of asphalt. Asphalt or metal surfaces can get extremely hot in the summer and can burn paws and reflect heat back on your pet. Pet owners can help avoid burns by choosing other surfaces to walk on or by walking their pets in the morning or evening. Test the surface by placing your hand just above the ground.

You also may notice your skin becoming thinner and a bit more sensitive. And if you are getting some pimples on your usually clear skin, you can blame that on menopause too! How about thinning eyebrows and hot flashes?? I could go on and on.

Interesting idea, but the dog will eventually lose interest if he isn’t able to catch the hot dog once in a while. It’s the same thing with toy rope tug of war; you have to let them win sometimes.
