You can get some drops that you put into their water bowl it does help to calm them down , you get it from Pets at Home, sorry I can't remember the name of it but I am sure they will advise you if you pop along, the thing to do when dogs are scarred of fireworks is not to pander to them as it just makes them worse, try putting some music on that's calming, don't put them in a room separate from you if you can help it, just keep an eye on them and make sure they have water available.

It sounds horrible but you must never be sympathetic towards them if they show any fear; it just confirms their suspicion that there's something to be afraid of. Be a bit jolly and cheerful - and try not to jump yourself! Have noise going in the background because a sudden bang sounds louder when it appears in a background of silence.
If your dog sees you acting confident and unconcerned then it will give him confidence.
If he's nervous then you can get a small dose of sedative for bonfire night.
I don't agree that all dogs are like that; gun dogs aren't bothered by noise and shotguns are a lot louder. My last dog used to get a packet of balloons at Xmas, we'd blow them up and he'd chase them around and burst them. I can't stand a balloon bursting in my mouth, it didn't bother him.

Keep the dog inside and let her sit near you or with you until the fireworks are over. Talk calmly to her so she'll feel more secure.'

Just comfort her and be with her. its natural for dogs to get scared of fireworks just give her more attention than usual.

All dogs do the same thing. We bring ours in the house and turn up the music or tv.

supply him some Rescue medical care. it rather is a variety of Bach's Flower Essences you may get at a well being nutrition save. they are secure for animals and that i understand dogs vendors who say that it works.

my dog hates them too, we always stay in with her when they are going off but she still gets really anxious and we have to give her sedatives off the vet, i hate doing this cos she is so out of it she can't walk and stuff but its the only way to calm her down. we limit it to nights that are really bad such as 4th 5th 6th Nov and new years eve, good luck
