Lots of worries come over the Diwali and Bonfire night period for your pets, as they are known to suffer from stress and sometimes even resulting in injuries.

To conquer this solution, Battersea Cats & Dogs home have released a free playlist via Spotify, that consists of restful, and soothing sounds for your pets, such as Bach and blissful piano sonatas, using these soothing sounds and calming music should keep your pets content and calm during fireworks and other triggering celebrations, Janine Pemberthy, Canine Behaviourist and Training Manager at Battersea says. She also added; “Fireworks season can be a worrying time for our pets, but thankfully there are many things you can do to help them relaxed, including playing some calming music to distract them and help to mask the noise of fireworks.”

What was the selection process?

The experts at Battersea carefully selected the sounds and music when creating this playlist. Taking into consideration music that animals already enjoy. Starting off with music played at animal charity kennels, and tranquilising sounds that also owners can enjoy too. Battersea also puts out more advice during this time of year to keep your animals as calm as possible, such as altering their daily schedules, by changing the time they eat dinner, and also taking them out for walks earlier before fireworks and big celebrations start. Jane Pemberthy also advises to close curtains and distract pets from outside celebrations “Listening to our carefully curated playlist alongside following Battersea’s other useful advice like setting up a cosy ‘safe space’ for your pet as a quiet retreat and closing the curtains to muffle the sight and sound of fireworks will help to keep them happy and stress-free.”
