Introduction
As a pet parent, it's important to understand how your animals feel during times of stress and anxiety. This Diwali 2022, there are ways to help your dog or cat stay calm and relaxed so they don't get scared or run away. You should also make sure that they have access to water and food at all times so they can eat if their stomach starts feeling upset from the loud noises around them. Here are some things you should know about pets during such stressful events:
Animals have a different nervous system than humans, and they react differently to loud noises and flashing lights
The nervous system of animals is different from ours and they react differently to loud noises and flashing lights. Animals are more sensitive to light and sound, have a different way of seeing things, can feel vibrations and hear high pitched sounds that we don't hear.
Animals have a better sense of smell than we do, so they may be able to notice the smoke in the air after fireworks are set off.
If you're concerned about your pet's safety during Diwali 2022, talk with their veterinarian about how best to keep them safe during this time period.
Dogs have much larger pupils and therefore don't see the same way that humans do.
Dogs have much larger pupils and therefore don't see the same way that humans do.
You may be familiar with the term "pupil," but you might not know what it really means. A pupil is the black part of your eye that changes size in response to light. In other words, when you're in a dark room, your pupils will be small so they can take in more light; when you're outside on a sunny day, however, your pupils will expand so they can protect against too much brightness.
Your dog's eyes work similarly to yours—except their pupils are even bigger! Because dogs are nocturnal creatures who primarily hunt at night like their ancestors did thousands of years ago (when humans were still evolving from apes), dogs' eyes evolved to allow them to see better than us during low-light conditions—like after sunset or before sunrise—and even through fog and smoke (which would otherwise make it difficult for our own eyes). Because dogs rely so heavily on sight for survival in these low-light conditions (hunting prey),
evolution has made sure that their retinas evolved into something truly amazing: canine retinas are more complex than human ones due to having many folds which increase the surface area available for absorbing light rays; moreover because of this increased surface area there is also an increased number of rod cells which absorb blue light while leaving yellow/green visible rays untouched.* This allows them.
While your pet may not be able to hear, they can feel vibrations.
You may be surprised to learn that while your pet may not be able to hear fireworks, they can feel vibrations. The ground shakes with the sound of fireworks, which is different from the way humans hear them. While we hear a loud ringing in our ears, animals have a different sensation that is similar but distinct from what we feel.
In fact, cats and dogs are especially sensitive to vibrations in the air when there's a sudden change like an explosion or firecracker going off nearby. They might even try to run away as soon as they sense one coming! So if you're planning on buying any fireworks this year and want your furry friend nearby while you light them up, make sure there's enough space between where they'll be sitting and where you'll be lighting up those rockets so they don't run away when they see those pyrotechnics going off!
Pet parents should seek veterinary attention right away if their dog seems like it is in pain.
