If your pet struggles with all the noises that come with bonfire night, Halloween and New Years then now is the time to start taking action.
🔊Noise anxiety is very common in dogs with around 50% reacting fearfully/anxiously to certain noises.
Although there are things you can do to help your dog if there’s unexpected loud noises, desensitising your pet and introducing positive associations now may help your pet cope better when firework season comes around.
🔊Once you’ve identified noises that trigger a fear/anxiety response in your dog you can begin to help them ignore this stimulus using repetition and gradual increase of volume. This will build their confidence until higher levels of stimulus are able to be ignored.
🔊This takes time, patience and persistence but positive reinforcements such as rewarding your dog with a high value treat/toy when they show signs of relaxation will help.
Despite training, some pets do still struggle and may benefit from veterinary input. There is also a recognised link between noise sensitivity and pain. If you are concerned about your pet's noise fear and think they may need more support, please contact the practice.

🐾🦴 PRIME OF LIFE 🦴🐾 We are offering Prime of Life clinics for our “senior pets”. Dogs over 8 years old and Cats over 11 years old. They are run by our registered veterinary nurses. The consultation includes a full nose to tail check. The nurses will advise you on what to look out for as your pet grows older and if further investigations are needed these are performed at a discounted cost. These are run from both of our practices. If you would like further information on these clinics please give us a call or message us on here.
📢 SOUND ON 📢 Marble came in to be castrated this week. He was having a cuddle with one of our nurses whilst purring away💙
This is Delilah, she was admitted to be spayed and as you can see by the video is not bothered at all after she had the surgery. She is really enjoying the fuss from the nurses.
