Protecting Nervous Pets from Deadly Consequences

While celebrating special events with fireworks is something most people enjoy, for nervous dogs and cats, it can be deadly. Our companions have sensitive hearing and loud explosions can send them into shaking spasms and it can also lead to extreme behavior that can prove deadly for the animal.

For one dog owner, a firework's celebration led to her losing her beloved Chihuahua for nine months after it chewed through a metal mesh fence and ran off. The owner, who was extremely distraught, had no idea that her pet could chew through a fence that she thought was very safe

In another instance, a Huskie jumped through a second story window to the ground below after fireworks erupted. Fortunately, the owner was home at the time and the dog was not seriously hurt.

In still another case, a Terrier climbed over a five-foot high fence and never was found again, during what would have otherwise been a festive celebration. The owners were devastated at the loss of their ten-year-old dog, a beloved member of the family. Had they known about ESIONPET, their best friend would still be with them today.

ESIONPET is a line of dog kennels that contain a unique soundproofing product, designed to provide peace and safety for sensitive pets. Thick layers of padding encase the specially-made dog crates and cages providing a soft, cushioned environment where pets are secure and protected when fireworks or other loud noise is taking place. Safer than using sedatives or restrictive devices to tie up a pet, ESIONPET is a natural solution to helping pets whose fear can otherwise turn deadly.

Once pets are introduced to the ESIONPET environment, they quickly calm down as noise no longer bothers them. As a result, more and more dog owners are turning to ESIONPET to provide a safe and comfortable environment for their dogs and cats when they are attending loud and festive celebrations. By having a safe place for their pet to sleep during such events, dog owners can enjoy themselves more -- without having to leave the party early.

Create a Safe Place for your dog to go to when she hears the noises that frighten her. You can also create a "hidey-hole" that is dark, small, and shielded from the frightening sound as much as possible.

Encourage her to go there when you're home and the thunder or other noise occurs. Consider using a fan or radio near the spot to help block out the sound.

Feed her in that location and help your dog associate that spot with other "good things" happening to her there. She must be able to come and go from this location freely.

Confining her in the "hidey-hole" when she doesn't want to be there will only cause more problems.

The "safe place" approach may work with some dogs, but not all. Some dogs are motivated to move and be active when frightened and "hiding out" won't help them feel less fearful.

The cage 'Quite Time' becomes your dog's den, an ideal spot to snooze or take refuge during a thunderstorm, hide from danger, a place to sleep.
