DURING CELEBRATIONS :
It is best to leave pets safely indoors with a safe place to hide Turn on the TV or radio to soften outside noises . If you are hosting guests , ask them to keep an eye on your pet and place notes of exit doors and gate reminding guests to securely close them when leaving Keep your pets busy with treats and toys like Kongs to help distract them from the outside noise
