Fireworks anxiety in dogs and cats: natural peace with the NGD Care Fireworks Protocol
New Year’s Eve is not a party for many animals. While we enjoy socializing and fireworks, dogs and cats experience stress, anxiety or even panic. Even animals that don’t show this experience stress.
The loud bangs, vibrations and flashes of light overstimulate their senses and activate the stress system. Fortunately, as an owner, you can do something about this – with understanding, preparation and natural support.
In this blog you can read how you can reduce fireworks anxiety in dogs or cats in a natural way with the NGD Care Fireworks Protocol.
Why fireworks cause so much stress
Animals hear and feel sounds much more intensely than we do. A sudden bang or flash of light can immediately activate the “flight system” in them: heart rate up, muscles tense, pupils dilated.
When this stress lasts too long, the nervous system becomes unbalanced. This can manifest itself in:
Trembling, panting or trembling
Crawling away or panicking
Excessive licking or whining
Decreased appetite or trouble sleeping
The longer the stress persists, the more difficult it is for the body to recover. That’s why starting support early is crucial.
The NGD Care Fireworks Protocol – natural rest in 4 steps
NGD Care’s Fireworks Protocol helps dogs and cats to better deal with stress, anxiety and tension around New Year’s Eve.
The products are selectively formulated and support the nervous system, hormone balance and immune system – without addictive or narcotics.
Step 1 – Balance your animal in time
An animal that is physically and emotionally stable reacts more calmly to stimuli. It is important that your dog or cat is balanced throughout the year. In balance means nourishing, natural food, no chronic disease and emotionally balanced. In animals with chronic complaints, it is sometimes necessary to start with our Intestinal Protocol in August to increase stress resistance.
Why the gut protocol helps with stress
The intestines and the brain are directly connected to each other via the gut-brain axis.
Important messenger substances are produced in the intestines, such as serotonin and GABA, which affect mood and relaxation.
When the intestinal flora is out of balance (for example due to nutrition, stress or illness), the nervous system is also more quickly disrupted.
The NGD Care Gut Protocol supports healthy gut flora, reduces low-grade inflammation, and helps the body better regulate stress hormones.
For example, a healthy gut contributes to more emotional stability and stress resistance — an important basis before the fireworks period.
Step 2 – Reduce anxiety and stress from the inside out
Around mid-November or early December you can start with the following natural supplements from the NGD Care Fireworks Package:
CBD oil – CBD acts on the endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBD oil is involved in many processes, including the regulation of sleep, appetite, anxiety, stress, pain sensation and the immune system.
Ashwagandha & Rhodiola – Both ingredients have an adaptogenic effect and regulate stress by lowering cortisol and adrenaline and increasing serotonin. It ensures that the body can recover faster in a stressful situation and balances stress, anxiety and fatigue.
Mushroom Mix 2 – This is a combination of 4 medicinal mushrooms (Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Cordyceps and Reishi). The combination has an adaptogenic effect, just like ashwagandha. In addition, the mushrooms will provide energy and resistance so that the body also gets strength to recharge for new stress and restless situations.
Flower Essence Fireworks support – The flower combination provides emotional balance, provides grounding, peace, courage, protection and reduces stress and anxiety.
- Aromatherapy Fireworks support Spray – The essential oil combination for fireworks comes in a spray. The nervous system is influenced via smell. This ensures balance between the neurotransmitters adrenaline and serotonin. We also made the fireworks support in a pure oil for a diffuser, which also provides good support for several animals (dog and cat).
These products work together to create a natural balance between rest, focus and relaxation. Most supplements need at least 2 weeks to work properly on the body.
Step 3 – Create safety and guidance
During the days around New Year’s Eve, a safe environment is essential:
Create a quiet, sheltered place where your animal can retreat.
Walk dogs at quiet times and use a sturdy harness.
Distract with snacks, toys, or soothing music.
Stay with your animal: comfort and reassurance reduce stress levels.
Step 4 – Recovery after the fireworks period
Has your animal experienced stress for more than two weeks? Then recovery is important.
Long-term stress affects the nervous system and the intestines.
Use another supplement in January to restore the microbiome and neurotransmitters. Think of prebiotics, probiotics, mushroom mix 2 or the combination of ashwagandha with rhodiola. If this is not enough for recovery, we advise you to start the intestinal protocol or stress protocol to bring back peace and vitality.
