Help! Dog won't stop barking at fireworks!

my cat doesn't seem to care at all - and I'm right next to holyrood park, which is usually mayhem this time of year.

The cat's bricking it as usual, it been awful since Diwali here (tonight is quiet compared to that!), we just shut him in and make a fuss of him. Its not too bad, but when they go on after 11pm its not very nice though

Our cat used to sit in the window trying to "catch" the fireworks.

Buy a less fearful dog, or alternatively a fish...

Both my cats are just asleep in the sofa downstairs like nothing is happening!

My cat is hiding under mum's dressing table...asleep.

When we had a dog, we just used to sit with it.

We are dog sitting my sisters dogs because there is a firework display down by her flat. One is scared stiff of fireworks the other isn't bothered.

Thats harsh, my dog used to have prescribed doggy Valium when she was alive from the vet so she was pretty zombied out.

Put it down.

Or put your self down for asking such a question in the first place

If you have a dog t-shirt, especially a tight-ish one, put it on the dog. (Works via pressure points)

If it works, look into an anxeity wrap. (prevented my parents dog having to be fed valium every bonfire night and thunderstorm)

Our border collie is like this every year aswell.

Put the telly up a bit louder, if you have a good relationship with your parents it might be worth you popping round and explaining why you have the telly up louder than usual.
Or put some music on so it drowns out the banging.

Is that a typo or did I miss something?
