New Year's Eve is a time where many of us will enjoy drinking and partying.
But for our four-legged friends, it can be a time of worry, stress and anxiety.
So, whatever you can do to help ease their fears, the better.
Get Surrey has complied a number of top tips to help you make sure your best friend can rest a bit easier tonight.
Here are a few top tips to make sure your pets stay safe and happy during firework season:
- Make sure your pet has somewhere to hide if they need to.
- Make sure your pet is always kept safe in a secure environment where they can't escape.
- Allow your pet out in daylight and keep them indoors when the fireworks are likely to be set off.
- Close all curtains and windows and play music to block out the sound and sights of the night.
- Never punish your pets when they are scared as this will make them more stressed.
