Overview
Did you know around 45% of dogs experience fear when they hear fireworks. Loud bangs, or bright lights, such as those made during fireworks displays, can trigger severe anxiety in dogs. However, there are a few ways to help your dog relax, whether they're scared of fireworks and other noises, or get anxious when you're not around.
Sound therapy uses different types of music and sounds to help your dog relax when they're feeling stressed, and can be a real lifesaver during fireworks season.
Any academic research into the impact of fireworks on dogs?
