Firecrackers and loud noises can frighten pets, especially dogs and cats. During Diwali, keep them indoors in a quiet, comfortable space to reduce their anxiety and prevent them from getting injured.
Designate a quiet room with their favorite toys, bedding, and some calming music to help mask the sound of fireworks.
Keep pets away from areas where firecrackers are being set off. Fireworks can cause burns and if pets get too close it can run into dangerous situations.
Many decorations, such as rangoli powders, candles, and string lights, can be harmful if ingested. Go for non-toxic and pet-safe decor. Keep fragile items out of reach.
Twinkling lights and electrical cords can be tempting for pets to chew on. Secure them properly and ensure there are no exposed wires.
Many Diwali sweets contain ingredients like chocolate, nuts, or dairy, which can be toxic to pets. Ensure that food is kept away from pets to avoid any accidental ingestion
Provide your pets with their favorite toys, puzzles, or chew treats to keep them distracted and engaged while the Diwali festivities take place.
