Along with New Year's Eve for the dogs.

You're talking about dogs, not crowds of riotous people being morons? ...

My wife's cat hated it. The current one is rather deaf.

My dog never had a problem with them until he turned 6. He's 7 now almost 8. It's been tough on him this year.
I even bought pet calming nuggets and drops made of camomile etc. but they don't work at all.

Fireworks are buy one get four free here.

The humvee I was riding in got hit by an IED when I was in Iraq. It didn't survive the experience. I still love fireworks. They are nothing like military grade high explosives, and don't evoke any ill emotions.

Couldnt agree more. My dog hates fireworks.

It's true. My dog had been pacing the floor every night since Friday looking for someplace safe to settle while every yahoo within 1/4 mile lights off canons. Tonight he finally decided that the bathtub was a safe place to hold up and wait it out.

Doesn't bother my dog at all. Thunder doesn't bother her either. From day one when thunder would occur we wouldn't coddle my dog or pay it any mind. Now she knows it's not something to worry about. Dogs take their cues from your behavior. If you respond by comforting them, they tend to believe there is reason to be concerned.

Your neighbors have canons? Wow. Must be a cool place.

I've got a couple who are on klonopin right now Bill, they are terrified and it's very serious as you know. I hope your loved ones can have peace very soon.

[Canefan1]

Hang in there fellas/pups, hopefully they end soon.

Have you tried the thunder shirt or vest?? We used to have a lab that freaked out at thunder or fireworks. We had to pretty heavily medicate him on July 4th. The vest worked great. He didn't mind shotguns and retrieving birds. Was really odd. So we put 2 and 2 together. His life jacket when hunting acted as a thunder shirt of types best we could figure out.

We go to municipal fireworks now and just save the hundreds of dollars we used to spend. Take to dog we have now (standard poodle) with us. She doesn't mind them at all.

My bird dog was never bothered hunting or by fireworks, but would hide whenever it was stormy.

I've got to try this for our dog. He's generally anxious, especially with fireworks, thunder, and the sound of anything cooking on the stove. I believe the stove issue is related to the occasional subsequent fire alarm beeping. I think he got Pavlov'd at my in-laws' place as they deep fry a lot. Anyway, could be worth a shot.

Fireworks have been around for over 1000 years. Clearly, there's some common enjoyment in them that has driven such longevity. Millions of people get off their couch to go see organized fireworks shows. The backyard variety is simply people bringing a taste of that home.

If people were upset about neighbors employing celebratory gunfire, I'd get that. But hating on fireworks mystifies me.

Thanks for your service but you are clearly ignorant when it comes to pets and explosions.

Mine is freaking out too. It's illegal in my town to light fireworks but you can buy them....... it's dry as hell in AZ and these jackwagons are launching rockets in a neighborhood. I hosed my roof down just in case.
If only a fantasy....launching a grenade simulator in their backyard...

[Chewbacca]

Agreed. My dogs go apes&$" with fireworks.
