Keeping pets safe on Guy Fawkes

Toni from Huntsbury

With Guy Fawkes quickly approaching on November 5th please keep in mind the animals who are extremely sensitive to the loud noises and lights that keep us amused on the night (and the nights leading up to it).

With Guy Fawkes quickly approaching on November 5th please keep in mind the animals who are extremely sensitive to the loud noises and lights that keep us amused on the night (and the nights leading up to it).

Here's some tips from the SPCA to keep our furry and feathered friends safe. Please use fireworks responsibly and respect your neighbours 😊

1. Stay home with your pet - they'll be less stressed with someone they trust close by.

2. Keep them indoors - where they won't see the flashes and the bangs will be muffled. Close doors and windows and draw the curtains. Turn up the volume on your radio or TV to help drown out loud bangs.

3. Put a collar and registration tag on your dog - if your dog panics and bolts, it will help rescuers reunite you. Attach a disc with your contact phone number.

4. Take special care of elderly or nervous pets - consult your vet for the best advice on keeping them calm, including sedation if necessary.

5. Move horses and farm animals away from fireworks - and make sure all fences are secure. Stable horses where possible

If your animal goes missing, please contact your local vet clinics and register your lost pet at www.petsonthenet.co.nz....

Now just think about what diving into a polluted Avon or Heathcote river does for the health of our kingfishers! Not much! But if we clean up our rivers, and provide better, cleaner habitat, imagine the increase in birds like kingfishers we'll see in our city. So pop on over to www.birdoftheyear.org.nz... and vote for the kingfisher to show how much we care about clean urban rivers!
