Background
Sudden, loud noises caused by fireworks can have a detrimental impact on both animals and some humans. Every year, a significant number of pets are lost and injured due to panic spurred by these events. The British Veterinary Association points out that 45% of dogs in the UK show signs of fear when they hear fireworks. Similarly, members of our community living with conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) report experiencing heightened symptoms during firework displays.
