And my ducks and chickens are TERRIFIED.

Ive got a 7 month terrier who keeps barking non stop at they ones that squeal. My american bulldog is terrified but its my fault cause we used to stay in a flat and i needed to take her out when she was a pup and some lit one off and i got a big fright and she seen me scared There is also 2 springers that stay across from me in kennels and i can hear them crying. On the other hand my cat is sat on the window sill watching them going off, she loves them.

we had a lil labrador collie x who was terrified of the fireworks!

he was from a rescue centre so we dont know his past but he used to get in a right mess.

We ended up taking him to the vets and they prescribed sedatives to help him through the time as he would shake all the time and wet himself in fear and then he would be even more scared because he wet himself and thought he would be in trouble!

Got Rammstein playing LOUD here, dogs and animals are used to loud music it drowns the fireworks out a treat.

You lot need to get better insulation or move somewhere more remote.. Ive never had a problem hearing the fireworks and neither have my pets. My cats are all sat in their beds asleep I'm sat in my flat with no sound on at all and they still aren't bothered.
