Noiseless fireworks could help your dog’s anxiety

Animals are getting a break in an Italian city which recently switched to noiseless fireworks. More cities are expected to do the same in the near future also. This could be a huge help for dogs around the world that suffer from anxiety brought about by loud noises.

Remember that feeling you get when you hear a loud bang and it sends adrenaline rushing through your body? That’s how dogs feel with fireworks and it gives most of them horrible anxiety. They run and hide under the bed or start shaking uncontrollably. They whimper and try to find a human to console them for all they know, they are under attack.

How can we make something fun like a holiday, less painful for man’s best friends?

Well, the Italian city of Collecchio is now making it illegal to have loud fireworks. They are purchasing fireworks from a company called Setti Fireworks which offers a silent variety. Most people don’t even know there is an option to buy noiseless fireworks because everyone is used to the loud bang.

The truth is, fireworks are traumatizing for dogs. They often run away from their homes, have a racing heartbeat and severe anxiety. Just as anxiety creates real physical symptoms in humans, it does for dogs as well.

Why should our pets suffer at our expense? Let’s start to spread the news about noiselesss fireworks and call our local government to request they mandate the switch. Just think what dog owners could accomplish if they banded together around the world! Perhaps one day all fireworks will be noiseless?
