remember!

1. safety
Inside & Safe
AVOID: outdoors, leaving on a leash, or unsupervised in a unknown area.
DO: make sure your pup is somewhere safe, preferably indoors. When a pup is scared, it can be a spooky world, even in their own backyard.

2. known space
Quiet & Cozy
AVOID: loud noises; if you know your pup is scared of crowds or fireworks; avoid them.
DO: quiet, please! Keep your pup in a warm, quiet space. Make sure there are no electrical cords or objects they may nibble on to ease their stress.

3. comfort
AVOID: Avoid their favorite toy! Why? it's like having your favorite food ruined because you ate it while sick.
Do give your pup a unique chew or blanket just for this stressful time.
