Is Your Pet Scared of Fireworks? Labor Day Tips Every Pet Parent Should Know
Pet Care Tips 5 min read
To us, fireworks mean celebration. To a pet, the sky may suddenly start making loud, unpredictable noises they do not understand.
Labor Day weekend can be full of family gatherings, outdoor fun, and fireworks. But for many dogs and cats, the booms, flashes, and vibrations can turn an exciting evening into a stressful one. The good news is that a little preparation before the first firework goes off can make the evening feel much safer for your four-legged family member.
Why Are Dogs So Scared of Fireworks?
Dogs and fireworks are not always a happy combination. Fireworks are sudden, loud, and unpredictable. A dog cannot understand that the sound is part of a celebration, or tell where it is coming from.
Fireworks can be frightening because of:
- Sudden, explosive sounds
- Vibrations that can be felt through the floor or ground
- Bright flashes outside
- Unfamiliar smells, voices, or activity around the home
- Not knowing where the sound is coming from
- Previous frightening experiences
Every dog responds differently. One dog may barely notice the noise, while another may hide under a bed, pace around the house, bark, cling to their person, or try to escape.
Research shows that fear of fireworks is common in dogs and can begin early in life. A large owner survey found that many dogs showed some degree of fear around fireworks, while a study of dogs during New Year fireworks identified changes such as ears held back as a useful sign of fear.
Dog Shaking From Fireworks? Know the Signs of Stress
A dog shaking from fireworks is often showing fear or anxiety. However, trembling is only one possible sign. Some dogs show their stress loudly, while others become very quiet.
Watch for:
- Shaking or trembling
- Panting when the room is not warm
- Pacing or being unable to settle
- Hiding
- Clinging to you or following you closely
- Barking, whining, or vocalizing
- Drooling
- Refusing treats or food
- Trying to dig, jump, or escape
- Changes in their usual behaviour, such as seeming withdrawn or unusually restless
This Labour Day, remember: Know Their Normal. When you know how your furkid normally eats, rests, plays, and reacts to everyday sounds, you are more likely to notice when something has changed.
If your pet is trying to escape, injures themselves, has trouble breathing, or remains extremely distressed after the fireworks end, contact your veterinarian.
How to Calm Dogs During Fireworks
The best time to prepare is before you hear the first boom. Here are practical ways to help your dog feel safer during Labor Day fireworks.
1. Exercise earlier in the day
Take your dog for their walk, playtime, or backyard break before dusk, when fireworks are more likely to begin. Keep the walk relaxed and avoid taking them near busy celebrations.
2. Bring your dog indoors early
Do not wait until fireworks have started. Bring your dog indoors before dark, even if they normally enjoy spending time outside. A frightened dog may panic and run, dig under a fence, or try to escape through an open door.
3. Check identification and secure your home
Make sure your dog’s collar tag has your current phone number and that their microchip information is up to date. Close doors, windows, curtains, and blinds. This can reduce both sound and flashing lights while helping prevent an escape.
4. Create a familiar safe space
Choose a quiet room or corner where your dog already likes to rest. Add their bed, favourite blanket, water bowl, and a familiar toy. Some dogs prefer a covered crate; others may choose a closet, bathroom, or space under furniture.
Let your dog decide where they feel safe. Never force a frightened dog out of their hiding place.
5. Use gentle background noise
Turn on calm music, a fan, TV, or white noise to soften the sound of fireworks. Keep the volume comfortable rather than trying to completely drown out the noise.
6. Stay calm and act normally
Your dog looks to you for information. Speak softly, move normally, and offer comfort if they come to you. You do not need to ignore them, but avoid making a big fuss each time a firework goes off.
Do not punish barking, hiding, accidents, or trembling. Fear is not bad behaviour. The RSPCA also advises creating a safe space, closing curtains and windows, walking dogs during daylight, and never punishing a frightened pet.
7. Keep bathroom breaks short and supervised
If your dog needs to go outside, use a leash even in a fenced yard. A sudden boom can make even a well-trained dog run. Keep the trip short, stay nearby, and return indoors when they are finished.
8. Plan ahead if your dog has severe fear
For dogs with a history of panic during fireworks, speak with your veterinarian before the holiday. They can help you decide whether behaviour training, a pheromone product, prescription medication, or another plan is appropriate.
For future fireworks seasons, gradual training with low-volume sound recordings and positive experiences may help some dogs. Research suggests that counterconditioning and relaxation training can be useful parts of a treatment plan for firework fear.
Are Cats Sensitive to Loud Noise Too?
Yes, cats can be very sensitive to loud noise, although they may show stress differently from dogs.
A fearful cat may not bark or run around the room. Instead, they may hide under a bed, become unusually quiet, move to a different hiding spot, avoid interaction, pace, eat less, or seem more watchful than usual. Some cats may also become more restless or vocal.
Cat stress and anxiety can be easy to miss because cats are often good at hiding when they do not feel well. Keep cats safely indoors before fireworks begin, close windows and curtains, and make sure they have access to familiar hiding places. A box, covered bed, quiet closet, or space under furniture may feel safest to them.
Do not pull your cat out of hiding or force interaction. Let them come to you when they are ready. Keep food, water, and the litter box accessible, especially if they choose a quiet room for the evening.
Home Remedies for Dogs Scared of Fireworks: What About Calming Supplements?
Many pet parents look for home remedies for dogs scared of fireworks, especially when they want to support a calmer routine at home. A cozy safe space, familiar background noise, gentle company, and preparation are often the most important first steps.
A calming supplement may also be something to consider
A calming supplement may also be something to consider for pets who become mildly anxious during noisy events. NHV Matricalm and NHV Lesstress are herbal formulas designed to support calmness and emotional balance in dogs and cats. Both are gentle herbal blends that may help support pets during stress, anxiety, restlessness, or changes in routine.
NHV Lesstress is usually a better option for dogs. It includes chamomile, passionflower, and lemon balm to encourage calmness and relaxation, plus reishi, eleuthero, and echinacea for added immune and stress-response support. It can be helpful for dogs that seem nervous, restless, or easily stressed.
NHV Matricalm is generally more suitable for cats. Along with chamomile, passionflower, and lemon balm, it contains valerian and hops, herbs commonly used to support relaxation and more restful sleep. It may be helpful for cats experiencing anxiety, agitation, nighttime restlessness, or stress from changes at home.
A Calmer Labor Day Starts Before the First Boom
Fireworks may only last for an evening, but knowing how your furkid normally behaves can help you recognize when they are feeling overwhelmed and respond sooner.
This Labor Day, prepare early. A little preparation can help every member of the family, including the four-legged ones, have a safer and more peaceful long weekend.

Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
A rescued puppy or kitten is a welcome addition to any home! But sometimes, your new furbaby has encountered trauma or a severe illness before coming home with you. If you’re a new pet pawrent asking yourself if there is an adopted puppy kit or kitten kit out there?
So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.

You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth. Some pets can be finicky, if this occurs consider hiding the drops in foods most pet’s love such as fish, chicken or yogurt or a favourite treat. If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.
For Best Results: Herbal dietary supplements are beneficial to the health and well-being of your pet and are safe for long-term use. Every pet responds to natural herbal supplements differently, therefore it is important to be consistent and administer the product daily. Supplements generally take two to four weeks to take effect, however this will vary from one animal to the next.

Description
Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
A rescued puppy or kitten is a welcome addition to any home! But sometimes, your new furbaby has encountered trauma or a severe illness before coming home with you. If you’re a new pet pawrent asking yourself if there is an adopted puppy kit or kitten kit out there?
So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
