Fireworks night is just around the corner, promising a spectacular display of lights and colours. It’s an exciting time, but it can be equally daunting for our furry friends. As you gear up for this dazzling event, let’s explore how to prepare yourself and your pets for fireworks night while Pavilions can play in assisting with the preparations.
Prepping Our People for Fireworks Night:
- Visiting Pavilions: Start your preparations by heading down to the centre, where you’ll find all the essentials for an enjoyable fireworks night. These might include:
- Warm Clothing: As fireworks night often falls during the colder months, it’s essential to ensure you and your family are dressed warmly. You can find cozy jackets, scarves, gloves, and hats to keep everyone comfortable at the shopping centre. Head down to Select for the latest trends!
- Fireworks Accessories: If you plan to set off fireworks in your own backyard, be sure to pick up the necessary accessories like sparklers, firecrackers, and sparkler safety gear to make the experience safe and memorable.
- Snacks and Refreshments: Stock up on your favourite snacks, drinks, and goodies to keep the energy up during the evening. Head to Sainsbury’s for all your essentials!
- Plan Your Outing: If you’re going to a public fireworks display, consider parking and transportation options.There are a variety of choices, including public transportation hubs and taxis that can get you to the event hassle-free. Check out the local bus station here!
- Safety First: Remember to prioritize safety. Purchase or check that your home’s fire extinguisher is in good condition, and review fire safety measures with your family before setting off fireworks.
Preparing Your Pets for Fireworks Night:
Pet Essentials at the centre: Don’t forget about your four-legged family members! Pavilions is a one-stop destination for pet essentials:
- Calming Products: Look for calming treats, pheromone diffusers, or anxiety wraps to help your pets stay calm during the fireworks.
- Pet Comfort Items: Pick up their favorite toys, blankets, and a cozy bed from Argos to create a safe and soothing space for them indoors.
- Create a Safe Haven: Before the fireworks start, designate a quiet, secure room at home where your pets can retreat. Close windows and curtains to minimize noise and flashes of light.
- Stay with Your Pets: While the fireworks are ongoing, spend time with your pets to provide comfort and reassurance. Gentle petting and a calming presence can make a big difference.
- Consult a Vet: If your pets have severe anxiety, consult your veterinarian for advice and possible medications to help manage their stress.
With a little planning and a visit to Pavilions, you can ensure both you and your pets have a safe and enjoyable fireworks night. Don’t forget to create a secure environment for your pets and stock up on all the necessary supplies, so you can celebrate with peace of mind and make it a memorable occasion for your entire family.
