Leave the Fireworks to the Pros

Fireworks and PTSD

For people with PTSD, the sound of fireworks can cause panic attacks or trigger flashbacks. The experience can trigger nightmares, insomnia or other PTSD symptoms. Also impacted are those with autism or developmental disabilities and victims of gun violence.

Fireworks and Pets

Fireworks can cause severe stress for pets such as dogs and cats. Horses have also been known to experience severe stress due to fireworks. Leave your dog or cat at home and create a quiet space with a favorite bed or blanket. Check your pet’s ID tags and microchip information.

Fireworks and Being a Good Neighbor

Please be a good neighbor and don't set off fireworks in your neighborhood. It’s a perfect time to teach your children concern for others and animals by explaining why your family doesn’t set off fireworks.
