The best dog calming products for bonfire night
The magical displays and bursting colours of Bonfire Night can be fun for the whole family, but while we admire the show of fireworks, unfortunately our pets can become fearful at the overwhelming noises and flashes of light. Bonfire Night can cause stress and anxiety in our furry family members. It can also be upsetting for pet parents to see their animals so distressed
This Bonfire Night, make sure your dog has a calming environment in your home where they can feel safe from any outside commotion with the help of our favourite calming pet products. These top picks will make this Bonfire Night less frightful for your pooch and more relaxed for everyone
Firstly, make sure your dog has somewhere they can go where they feel safe, comfortable and happy, like a quiet room that’s familiar to them. Turning on the TV or radio or playing calming music can help drown out the sounds of fireworks, which will help your dog relax
Make sure you offer your pup plenty of reassurance and love and keep their routine as normal as possible. Remember that dogs can pick up on your mood, whether it’s positive or negative, so try and reassure them by staying stress-free and calm
Calming products, such as supplements, diffusers and natural oils, can help provide additional comfort to your dog around Bonfire Night. For a drug-free, non-invasive approach to managing your dog’s stress and anxiety, Rosewood Aromadog calming Dog Toys are the perfect companions for Bonfire Night. With a soft, plush design, they’re infused with a calming blend of essential oils, including lavender and chamomile, which are known for their relaxing properties. When your dog plays with or chews on the toy, the oils are gently released from the fabric, and this helps bring to your dog a sense of tranquillity. All you need to do is simply incorporate these toys into your dog’s routine as you would with any another toy. Shop the range in-store today
Perhaps the most simple and effective solution to reducing stress and nerves in your dog is the Beapher Canicomfort Calming diffuser. This diffuser contains a copy of the naturally produced Dog Appeasing Pheromone, which your furry friend will instantly recognise. This pheromone is scientifically shown to have calming effects and will help your dog feel reassured and safe. The Canicomfort diffuser is easy to use – simply plug it into the space of your home where your dog frequents the most and it'll last for up to 30 days before it will need refilling
Another drug-free pet calming product for your pooch is Lily’s Kitchen Bedtime Biscuits. Suitable for adult dogs from 4 months, these tasty, oven-baked biscuits are packed with natural ingredients, including chamomile and ginger which helps calm dogs, yoghurt which improves gut health, and honey which supports the immune system. Giving your furry friend a biscuit before bed will help settle and soothe them, ready for bedtime
