As people get busy celebrating the festival by bursting firecrackers or spending quality time with their family and friends, Diwali can sometimes become a stressful time for pets. Here's how pet parents can keep their pets safe this Diwali.

To prevent your pet from getting anxious or scared with the sudden bursting of crackers or too much noise from family get-together, set up a cozy and quiet room for them with familiar bedding, toys, etc. Pet-proof the space and make them feel comfortable.

Ensure your pet cat or dog is staying indoors, especially when fireworks are likely to be burst. Also, close doors and windows to minimise noise. You can also play some soothing or soft music at home.

Using pet-safe essential oils, and even plug-in pheromones can help soothe anxious pets during festivities.

Keep your pet engaged with toys or puzzle feeders to keep them distracted from the outside activities.

Keep hazardous decor items like candles, diyas, certain flowers, sweets, and even some indoor plants away your pets as they can be hazardous to them.

Walk dogs early in the morning or afternoon before fireworks start, to ensure they are calm and settled by the evening.

Anxiety can sometimes make pets thirsty, so ensure they have easy access to fresh water. Our pets are our family and so help them stay calm and safe, making Diwali more enjoyable for them too.
