Diwali festivities can be unsettling for dogs, with loud noises and bright flashes. Here are some simple strategies to help them stay calm and comfortable:
If your dog hides under furniture or in a corner, let them stay there. It’s their way of finding security.
Allow your dog to choose where they feel safest during fireworks or loud sounds. Forcing them to face their fears can increase anxiety and even lead to phobias. Some may want to stay close, while others prefer a quiet spot away
Dogs take cues from their owners. By staying relaxed, you signal that there’s no need to panic.
Drawing curtains and playing calming music can help muffle sounds and block out firework flashes.
If your dog acts out due to anxiety, remember it’s their coping mechanism. Punishment can increase their fear.
Take your dog out for walks before fireworks start in the evening or early in the morning to avoid sudden loud noises.
If you have an older dog afraid of fireworks, separate them from puppies so the younger ones don’t mimic their fear.
Training can add to your dog’s stress if they’re already fearful. Save training sessions for quieter times.
Chew toys or interactive games can divert their attention during stressful moments.
If your dog struggles with loud sounds, consult your vet about calming options.
With some mindful preparation, you can reduce Diwali anxiety for your dog. Every small step—from maintaining a calm atmosphere to offering safe, comforting spaces—helps make this festive season a bit easier for them. Even a little relief is worth the effort.
