Fireworks and FurBabies: Calming Your Pet During Loud Events

Summer is filled with backyard parties, long weekends, and fireworks lighting up the sky. While we might enjoy the show, our pets often feel quite differently. Sudden loud bangs, flashing lights, and unfamiliar crowds can turn a fun night into a stressful experience for dogs and cats.


If your fur baby struggles during fireworks or other noisy events, you're not alone—and there are gentle, natural ways to help them feel safe and calm.


Why Fireworks Trigger Anxiety

Unlike humans, pets don’t understand what fireworks are. To them, they’re unexpected explosions that come without warning. This triggers their fight-or-flight response—resulting in panting, pacing, hiding, whining, or even destructive behavior.


Certain breeds and rescue animals with past trauma may be especially sensitive. Cats may disappear for hours or refuse to come out from under the bed. Dogs might bark excessively, shake, or become clingy.


The good news? You can help ease their anxiety naturally.

 

Calming Support That Works – Naturally

At FurBabies, we understand how heartbreaking it is to watch your pet suffer through loud events. That’s why we created Easy Calm—a gentle, non-sedating supplement designed to help your pet stay relaxed when life gets noisy.


🐶 Easy Calm for Dogs

Formulated with calming herbs and adaptogens like ChamomileValerian Root, and L-Theanine, our dog formula is perfect for fireworks, thunderstorms, travel, and vet visits. It's bacon-flavored for easy dosing—no wrestling needed.

🐱 Easy Calm for Cats

Cats are famously sensitive, so we’ve created a feline-friendly formula that supports calm behavior without sedation. With ingredients like AshwagandhaPassionflower, and Taurine, it’s ideal for firework nights, visitors, or even when rearranging furniture (yes, that can cause stress too).


Tips for Firework Night

1. Create a Safe SpaceDesignate a quiet room with their bed, favorite toys, and low lighting. Turn on a fan or calming music to muffle external noise.

2. Use Easy Calm in AdvanceGive your pet Easy Calm about 30–60 minutes before fireworks begin for best results.

3. Stay Calm YourselfPets take cues from you. Stay upbeat and calm. Don’t coddle too much, as it may reinforce the fear. Instead, act normal and reassuring.

4. Keep Pets IndoorsAlways bring your pets inside before fireworks start. Even the most well-trained animals can bolt in fear.

5. Update ID Tags and MicrochipsIn case your pet gets out, make sure their ID is current. Many pets are lost each year during fireworks season.
