First of all, keep your dog in a safe room. If your dog is nervous about the noise of fireworks, you can try to desensitize him to the sound by playing recordings of fireworks. This way, he will be more likely to ignore them, thereby gaining more trust in you. The sound of the fireworks should be increased gradually so that your dog will get used to it. If your dog does not show any signs of fear during the fireworks, you can reward him with extra playtime.

Aside from using natural remedies to calm your dog, you can also consult a vet to discuss your pet’s phobia of fireworks. Your vet will be able to offer medications and other products that can help reduce your dog’s fear and anxiety. In some cases, your vet will refer you to an animal behaviorist for therapy. This type of therapy must start months before fireworks so that your dog can get used to it.
