Fireworks – there is nothing more glorious to humans and frightening to dogs. The ongoing loud, booming sounds of fireworks is often the scariest sound that dogs can experience. Their inconsistent hertz and decibel levels are the perfect storm to cause anxiety in dogs. Fireworks and dogs simply do not mix.
Fireworks and Dogs - Real Threat?
Unfortunately, the amount of stress that dogs experience during fireworks makes them a real threat. The sounds and unpredictability of fireworks cause many dogs to go into a fight-or-flight mode. Some people report that their dogs bark incessantly, while others say their dogs will try to hide, and in worse-case-scenarios, even run away. Fireworks and dogs make for a truly anxious time – for humans too.
How About Fireworks Miles Away From You?
Yes, them too. Dogs have amazing hearing, they can hear sounds roughly four times further away than humans. So, what might sound rather quiet, or off in the distance to you – can be very close and scary to your dog.
