Fireworks have already started ahead of Halloween celebrations this week, and today the USPCA sends out an urgent reminder to dog owners in a bid to keep everyone safe, happy and healthy as the sparks fly.
The charity stresses that Halloween can be fun-filled for many as the festivities involved prove distressing for pets thanks to all the strange sights, smells and most importantly the noises that can be overwhelming.
Fireworks in particular, can have a devastating effect on the sensitivities of many pets, causing them to run, try to hide, making them pant, bark, whine, pace around and shake.
