While we humans look forward to celebrating with our near and dear ones, for our furry companions, the festivities are unfortunately overshadowed by fear. Similarly, for community caregivers and pet parents, too, the festive season is an anxiety-filled period.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Here are some simple steps that can help ensure the paw-fect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/keeping-calm-through-the-crackle-expert-tips-to-help-pets-stay-safe-during-festive-fireworks-9630933.html\">Diwali<\/a> for both humans and their best friends.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>1. Tagging Is The Way To Go<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Sudipta, the founder of Ednas Foundation, reveals that \u201cEvery year, dogs and cats in my area go into hiding around Diwali; a few go missing due to the panic, while new ones who are lost and end up here.&#8221; To ensure that each animal makes its way back home safely, they recommend collaring both pets and community animals with your contact information before the festivities begin.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><strong>2. Check In With Your Vet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">There are many anti-anxiety or calming medicines on the market that claim to help pets and their parents manage stress better. However, before buying anything, it is always best to check in with your vet and ensure the product\u2019s safety and efficacy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>3. Prepare A Safe Corner For Your Fur Baby<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Neharika, parent to a shih tzu \u2013 Toffy, shares that \u201cI make sure he has a safe space to hide away from the chaos. Moreover, she reveals that placing his belongings like a familiar blanket, toys, close to him and giving the pup some engaging chews helps distract him and regulate the stress better.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><strong>4. Offer Shelter To Strays<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">While our pets have a safe space to hide, the stray animals outside run frantically on the roads looking for a safe spot to hide, often resulting in them getting hurt by the incoming traffic. Leaving the gate open and letting them take shelter in your parking\/verandah for a while can protect them from such accidents.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><strong>5. Keep Crackers Away From Animals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">If you decide to burst crackers, it is important to be mindful of the location, especially if you have pets\/community animals around you. Choose spots away from animals, like open grounds or terraces that will allow the fumes and noise to dissipate easily.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Following these small steps can go a long way in making Diwali a little easier for our furry companions. With just a bit of awareness and kindness, we can make sure the festive spirit is something everyone can enjoy!<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-171842780 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-171842780 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 18, 2025, 21:25 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-171842780 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/\">lifestyle<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Simple Ways To Make This Diwali Paw-Fect For Your Pets<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
