Some tips to protect cats and dogs
This year the four-legged friends will be less alone, due to the restrictions imposed by the government due to the health emergency. The truth is that any bangs could also scare your pet, so it is important that you contact your veterinarian, who will be able to indicate the most appropriate solutions to adopt in case of uncontrolled fear or panic crisis. However, here are some suggestions:
– Make sure they always have an easily accessible place to shelter and find shelter.
– Make sure they are in a safe and secure environment from which they cannot leave.
– Always take the dog for a walk during the day on a leash: remember that a frightened dog may try to escape and run away.
– Keep cats and dogs indoors at night, when the barrels could be used more easily.
– At dusk, close the window blinds tightly, draw the curtains and cover and muffle the noise of the barrels with music.
– Never punish animals when they are scared: this behavior could worsen their mood.
– Provide the pet with a microchip (mandatory for dogs and optional for cats). It allows you to more easily track it in case it escapes.
