【推荐1】BONFIRE NIGHT is just around the corner. While these brightly coloured explosions are fun for us, our pets may suffer. For animals, Bonfire Night can be one of the most stressful times of the year, with big bangs for seemingly no reason.

In fact, Sainsbury's has banned the sale of fireworks in all of its 2, 300 stores. This was not just for animals, but also due to concerns of the controlled explosions being used in inappropriate places, as weapons or affecting those with post-traumatic(创伤后)stress disorder and autism(自闭症). Animal charities have welcomed the ban, as many say Bonfire Night is one of the most distressing times of the year for animals.

Manager at pet supplement manufacturers Lintbells, said: ''Many dog owners are calling for a change around firework laws, with over 60 percent calling for a thorough ban on unlicensed fireworks, according to the study we conducted, with 96 percent believing that the laws around fireworks should be changed. ''

In addition to the recent announcement from supermarket Sainsbury's and its plans to stop selling fireworks in all of its stores, the results of the study have raised further questions on whether fireworks should be further legislated, to protect not only dogs but other animals too.

There are things you can do to prepare your home for Bonfire Night to help your pet feel safe.

1. Create a safe space

Creating a safe place inside your home can be an ideal place for your dog to hide from fireworks. You can also choose to close the curtains, windows to further shelter their pet from the loud noises and bright flashes of lights.

2. Turn up the TV or radio

The booming sound of fireworks can arouse fear in animals, so turning up the TV or playing music loudly can help to drown out the sound. The sound of the TV could help distract your pet from the bangs outside.

Lintbells offers a range of natural calming supplements called YuCALM which help to fight against your dog's stress and anxiety. By supporting natural calming pathways in the brain, YuCALM is an effective way to help reduce stress and support your dog to become happier and more playful once again.
