This is the time of year when all pet owners should be thinking about what preparations they are going to be making in order to keep their pet safe and not distressed this Bonfire Night. Unlike people, animals have very sensitive hearing, they are able to hear thing that we cannot, which means they are more likely to become distressed when fireworks are let off. The main precaution to make is to keep pets that would normally be kept outside indoors so that they won’t be exposed to the very loud bangs that fireworks make. Ensure that all windows and doors are closed too and if you have a rabbit or a pet in a hutch then provide them with extra bedding to block out the majority of noise.

Over feeding your pets

One of the many problems that owners of pets face is over feeding their animals. Often an owner will want to reward good behaviour of their pet with a treat which over several years can lead to their pet becoming over weight. It is estimated that approximately 40% of all dogs are either overweight or obese. Animals become overweight for pretty much the same reason that people do, due to over eating and not exercising enough. A lot of owners will give their dog the pet food that they are required but often the dog will receive scraps and left-over’s from the owners dinner, adding additional, unnecessary calories to the animals diet. To counter these extra calories the animal will require additional exercise or for owners to watch how much scraps they are feeding their pets.
