THE Basingstoke branch of Pets at Home will be holding a special workshop to help owners keep their pets calm during the firework season.
Employees will be on hand between 2pm and 2.30pm at the store at Hatch Warren Retail Park this Saturday to provide advice and guidance on reducing the stress caused to animals by fireworks.
A range of topics will be covered on the day including the best ways to increase a pet’s sense of security with practical tips, as well as advice on the best products to ease anxiety.
Peter Marshall, store manager, said: “Bonfire Night will take place midweek this year, meaning two weekends of potential firework displays and bonfires. However, preparing your pets early can greatly reduce their anxiety levels when it comes to firework season.
“This workshop will give pet owners information on the extra measures they need to take, in order to keep pets healthy and safe so they can enjoy a stress-free Bonfire Night.”
