Diwali , the festival of lights, brings joy, celebrations, and cherished memories into your life and the lives of your family and friends. However, if necessary precautions are not taken, this festival can pose risks to your furry companions.

Here is the ultimate guide to keeping your pets safe during the celebrations.

Create a safe corner: Dogs and cats can be scared of loud noises and may immediately seek refuge under a bed or in a corner where they feel safe. While you prepare to make memories, don’t forget your furry friends. Create a safe space for them to escape the noise of firecrackers.

Be cautious about food: Your pet’s health operates differently from that of humans. Therefore, avoid sharing festive treats meant for people. Instead, offer something special from a range of dog and cat treats.

Watch your decorations: Be mindful of decorations, such as diyas, marigold flowers, and other items that could be harmful to your pets. Dogs and cats are curious and may chew on things that could be toxic to them.

Keep an eye on your pets: Always check on your pets when guests start arriving or when the party begins, especially if you’re including them in the Diwali celebrations. Transfer them in their safe corner if you notice that they are unfomfortable.
