The New Year festivities are a LOT more fun for people than for pets.
Animal welfare organizations discouraged the public, especially pet owners, from using fireworks to welcome the New Year.
“Keep your pets indoors on New Year’s Eve. Your pet’s sharp ears might be a blessing in most cases, but over the holidays they are a curse,” PAWS said. “Shelter dog Lopez , for instance, can hear sounds from distances over four times further away than what humans can hear. To Lopez, a firecracker going off in a neighbor’s yard will sound like it’s going off right beside his head!” PAWS said.“Imagine how terrified they will be once fireworks start going off. Please be sensitive to your pets’ needs and keep them indoors as we ring in the New Year,” PAWS said in the infographic.
“The combo of bright lights and loud noises, while exciting to humans, is downright terrifying for cats, dogs, and any other pets,” PAWS said.
