How to Protect Your Dog from Stress

First, it is worth accustoming the dog to loud sounds. The constant presence of some loud sound, such as a working TV or radio, will help with this.

Secondly, when the holiday itself arrives, close the curtains tightly so that the animal is not frightened by bright flashes.

Thirdly, evening walks during this period should be limited so as not to unnecessarily irritate the spa.

Another piece of advice is to make sure that someone is always at home with your dog. This person will help calm your pet if it gets scared by loud noises.

If your dog experiences severe stress every time, then try to consult a veterinarian who will prescribe appropriate medications if necessary.
