NEW ORLEANS — According to the Humane Society of Louisiana, millions of pets and farm animals will likely be scared, spooked and frightened by the annual New Year’s Eve celebrations, which often involve the discharging of fireworks and Roman candles, wall spinners, and sparkle.

Frightened by the loud sounds and bright lights, animals typically hide in a corner or dark room or have been known to jump over and climb under fences to seek safety.

One Livingston Parish pet owner, Frank Marchiafava, the proud owner of five rescued dogs, knows firsthand how many pets, especially dogs, will react.

“I know holiday times can be stressful for most humans and even more stressful for your pets, especially during fireworks displays. My pets get anxious and bark all the time, but there are ways to get around that if you can keep them from hearing the loud sounds of the fireworks. Drowning out the fireworks with music or other things works best. I also stay home each New Year’s Eve to ensure they feel comfortable and protected,” said Marchiafava.

Here are some tips and strategies to help your dogs cope:

Bring your pets inside. If left outside, many will attempt to escape and often injure themselves in the process.

Stay home with them or get a family member or even a pet sitter to spend time with them.

Take your pet(s) for a long walk before the fireworks start to give an outlet for energy.

Turn on classic or soothing music, fan, TV or air purifiers to drown out the outside noise.

Make a cozy cave-like area for them, either in a closet or a kennel.

Give them a mild vet-approved sedative if needed or over-the-counter calming products sold at most pet stores.

Diffusers can be used to distribute pheromones into the air (pheromones contain natural calming properties).

Purchase and put on “anxiety shirts” (also known as Thundershirts). They apply mild pressure to the dog’s core, which they find reassuring.

Give them plenty of toys and treats to keep them occupied.

If they escape, make sure they are wearing an ID with your phone and are microchipped, and share their photos on social media platforms with your contact information. Check with your local shelter and rescue groups as well.
