Many dogs experience fear during fireworks and firecracker displays common during Indian festivals. This fear isn't a behavioral problem but a genuine phobia that can be debilitating for your pet. Dogs have acute hearing that makes loud, unpredictable noises particularly distressing.

Signs Your Dog is Stressed by Firecrackers

• Trembling or shaking
• Excessive panting or drooling
• Pacing or restlessness
• Attempting to hide or escape
• Destructive behavior
• Excessive barking or howling
• House soiling (even in well-trained dogs)
• Refusing food
