Firework season can be magical for us humans, but for our dogs, it’s often a very different story. At Natural Treats Bristol, we know just how stressful those loud bangs and bright flashes can be for your furry friends. Here are our top tips from our experienced and knowledgeable team to help your dog feel calm, safe and supported plus a few natural products we trust and recommend.
1️⃣ Create a Safe Space
Before the fireworks begin, set up a quiet, cosy den for your dog. Close curtains, dim lights, and play calming background sounds like gentle music or white noise. Having their favourite blanket or toy nearby can make a world of difference.
2️⃣ Try Natural Calming Support
We highly recommend Dorwest Scullcap & Valerian Tablets and Valerian Compound, both made from natural ingredients that gently ease anxiety and restlessness.

They can help your dog stay calm through fireworks, storms, vet visits or travel.
3️⃣ Keep Them Busy with Natural Chews
Long-lasting natural chews such as buffalo rolls, yak bars, rabbit ears or camel skin chews can help redirect nervous energy. Chewing releases endorphins, which help dogs relax naturally.
4️⃣ Don’t Over-Reassure - Stay Calm Yourself
Dogs often pick up on our emotions. Try to stay calm and relaxed, if you act normal, your dog will feel safer too.
5️⃣ Plan Ahead
Walk your dog early before it gets dark, make sure their collar tag and microchip details are up to date, and close windows before the fireworks start.
