With 80% of pet owners having a pet who is afraid of fireworks, the bonfire season can cause real problems in many households. No longer are fireworks just a one night event, the bonfire season and the loud noises that accompany it create a stressful time for both pets and owners. However, taking advice on the best way to deal with the festivities can reduce stress for all!
Protect Your Pet By:
1 Providing somewhere secure for them to hide… both cats and dogs may want to seek out a quiet corner, but don't try to tempt that out if they do
2 Closing all windows and drawing the curtains will help, and don't leave them on their own if you think they are distressed
3 Walking dogs in the day and keep all pets indoors when fireworks are likely to happen
4 Not making a fuss of them if they do show signs of fear and never tell them off for this type of behaviour
5 Providing toys and a play area can help by creating a distraction. Playing with the toy yourself may encourage them to join in, but don't force it
6 Ignoring the fireworks will show them that there is nothing to be scared of
7 Making sure they can't escape if scared by a sudden loud noise – ensure you have micro chipped them in case they do
8 Remembering that pets who are scared of loud noises can face the same problems on other occasions. Party Poppers and Christmas Crackers being pulled are other times to keep a close eye on your pet for signs of fear

Because we love our pets we want to take care of them well… but that doesn't mean we love the hair loss! You can make easy work of removing pet hair from clothes, carpets, upholstery, curtains and more with our BEST SELLING PET HAIR ROLLERS.
Being the home of the Sticky Roller Brush we are naturally interested in all things relating to pets and as a nation of pet lovers I thought many of you may be interested in a programme coming soon to Sky 1 called ‘Pet Nation'.

Liza Tarbuck and Huey Morgan are the hosts exploring the many aspects of owning a pet – looking into alternative therapies for your pets, gadgets, home videos, cooking for cats and dogs(!) and stories from around the world. We're hoping to get more tips on how to care for our pets (and cope with their hairs!) But continuing with our pet theme (and as I've recently been grooming my dog more frequently since Margaret's tips on grooming!), here's a rundown on how to brush a dog!With great multipack savings, £5 OFF VOUCHER CODE: NOV10 (for use before 30 November 2010 and for one use per customer, not to be used in conjunction with any other code) and a FREE PET HAIR ROLLER with every order over £25 (excl. p&p), there's no better time to catch these great offers.
