📍Microchip your pet and make sure all contact information is up to date
🏠Secure gates and fences and keep your pet indoors during noise events when possible
🛏️Create hiding places and safe spaces with comfy bedding, favorite toys, and access to food and water
🦴Provide distractions such as calming music, trick training, interactive or treat filled toys (stuffed Kongs, Pupsicles, Likimats, etc.)
🐾Use calming pheromone diffusers, such as Adaptil or Feliway
🩺 Contact your vet for a behavior consult or medication options that can help ease your pet's anxiety.
