9 Easy Ways to Keep Your Dog From Panicking This New Year’s Eve 🎆

Let’s be real — we all love the sparkle of fireworks and the midnight countdown. But while you're clinking glasses, your dog’s over there thinking the sky is exploding.

So if your pup turns into a shaking, hiding mess every New Year’s Eve, this post is for you.

Here are 9 ways to help your dog survive the night without turning your living room into a war bunker.

1. Start Sooner Than You Think (Yes, Like… Now) ⌚️ 

The worst thing you can do? Wait until the fireworks start to begin calming your dog down.

Start preparing early in the day by:

• Walking them while it's still light out

• Giving them a full meal before dark

• Setting up their calm zone (more on that below)

The earlier you start, the more relaxed they’ll be when the bangs begin.
