As fireworks light up the skies for Halloween, Bonfire Night, and New Year's, many pet owners face the challenge of managing their pets' anxiety brought on by the loud noises and bright flashes that accompany these celebrations. Ceva, a top global animal health company, is helping households to navigate this period with scientifically proven, vet-endorsed solutions to support pets’ wellbeing and support the special bond between pets and their owners.
The consequences of fireworks-induced stress extend beyond anxious behaviour such as hiding, shaking, panting, or excessive barking. Prolonged exposure can also affect pets’ physical health, leading to increased heart rates, digestive issues, or destructive actions. Beyond the immediate distress, prolonged exposure can have adverse health effects, including increased heart rate and digestive issues.
With over 25 years of experience as a leader in animal health and pet behaviour, Ceva offers a range of vet-approved products specifically designed to alleviate pet anxiety. For cats, FELIWAY diffusers and sprays can soothe them during stressful situations, creating a state of familiarity and security in the cat’s local environment. For dogs, ADAPTIL diffusers and collars release calming pheromones for a continuous calming effect, while ADAPTIL chews provide a fast-acting, non-addictive solution with ingredients like L-theanine and colostrum to help relax dogs during stressful events. To help dogs to feel calmer and more comfortable in stressful situations, gentle pressure solutions such as the ThunderShirt® calming wrap also offer reassurance to dogs prone to anxiety.
Pet owners are also encouraged to create quiet, safe spaces for their pets, play calming background music to mask fireworks noise, and ensure pets are microchipped and wear identification in case they become frightened and run away.
“Protecting pets during fireworks season is about more than managing stress—it’s about preserving the bond between people and their animals,” says Dr Sarah Endersby MRCVS, Technical Manager for the Well-being Range in the Companion Animal Franchise of Ceva Animal Health “With the right combination of scientifically backed products and practical care, owners can help their pets feel secure, safe, and relaxed, strengthening the human-animal connection that is so central to their wellbeing.”
