By following this remedy, the sound of firecrackers will reduce the sound of firecrackers in your pet’s ears and he will not get disturbed much.

Close the windows of the house

Keep your dog indoors during fireworks. Close the doors and windows of the room and also close the curtains so that the light of the firecrackers does not reach it and your pet does not get too excited. If you want, you can turn on the TV in low volume, so that the dog’s attention remains distracted and he does not pay much attention to the firecrackers.

Cover the cage with a blanket

If your pet lives in a cage, it will move towards the cage when it gets scared. In such a situation, all you have to do is cover the cage well with a thick blanket, so that the sound does not go inside and your pet feels more secure.
