While we enjoy socializing and fireworks, dogs and cats experience stress, anxiety or even panic. Even animals that don&#8217;t show this experience stress.<br data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"857\">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 \u2013 with understanding, preparation and natural support.   <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1216\">In this blog you can read how you <strong data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1175\">can reduce fireworks anxiety in dogs or cats in a natural way<\/strong> with the <strong data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1213\">NGD Care Fireworks Protocol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1221\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1272\">Why fireworks cause so much stress<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1274\" data-end=\"1567\">Animals hear and feel sounds much more intensely than we do. A sudden bang or flash of light can immediately activate the &#8220;flight system&#8221; in them: heart rate up, muscles tense, pupils dilated.<br data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1470\">When this stress lasts too long, the nervous system becomes unbalanced. This can manifest itself in:  <\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1569\" data-end=\"1701\">\n<li data-start=\"1569\" data-end=\"1597\">\n<p data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1597\">Trembling, panting or trembling<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1628\">\n<p data-start=\"1600\" data-end=\"1628\">Crawling away or panicking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1659\">\n<p data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1659\">Excessive licking or whining<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1660\" data-end=\"1701\">\n<p data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"1701\">Decreased appetite or trouble sleeping<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1829\">The longer the stress persists, the more difficult it is for the body to recover. That&#8217;s why <strong data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1799\">starting support early<\/strong> is crucial. <\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"1834\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"1905\">The NGD Care Fireworks Protocol \u2013 natural rest in 4 steps<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1907\" data-end=\"2217\"><strong data-start=\"1911\" data-end=\"1944\">NGD Care&#8217;s Fireworks Protocol<\/strong> helps dogs and cats to better deal with stress, anxiety and tension around New Year&#8217;s Eve.<br data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2043\">The products are selectively formulated and support the nervous system, hormone balance and immune system \u2013 without addictive or narcotics.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2222\">\n<h3 data-start=\"2224\" data-end=\"2280\"><strong data-start=\"2234\" data-end=\"2278\">Step 1 \u2013 Balance your animal in time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2281\" data-end=\"2591\">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 <strong data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1755\">Intestinal Protocol<\/strong> in August to increase stress resistance.   <\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f8f5; border-left: 5px solid #8ba989; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px;\">\n<h3>Why the gut protocol helps with stress<\/h3>\n<p>The intestines and the brain are directly connected to each other via the <strong>gut-brain axis<\/strong>.<br \/>\nImportant messenger substances are produced in the intestines, such as <strong>serotonin<\/strong> and <strong>GABA,<\/strong> which affect mood and relaxation.<br \/>\nWhen the intestinal flora is out of balance (for example due to nutrition, stress or illness), the nervous system is also more quickly disrupted.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>NGD Care Gut Protocol<\/strong> supports healthy gut flora, reduces low-grade inflammation, and helps the body better regulate stress hormones.<br \/>\nFor example, a healthy gut contributes to more emotional stability and stress resistance \u2014 an important basis before the fireworks period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr data-start=\"2593\" data-end=\"2596\">\n<h3 data-start=\"2598\" data-end=\"2659\"><strong data-start=\"2605\" data-end=\"2657\">Step 2 \u2013 Reduce anxiety and stress from the inside out<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2661\" data-end=\"2792\">Around mid-November or early December you can start with the following natural supplements from the <strong data-start=\"2762\" data-end=\"2789\">NGD Care Fireworks Package<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"3151\">\n<li data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"2902\">\n<p data-start=\"2796\" data-end=\"2902\"><strong data-start=\"2796\" data-end=\"2808\">CBD oil<\/strong> \u2013 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. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2903\" data-end=\"3026\">\n<p data-start=\"2905\" data-end=\"3026\"><strong data-start=\"2905\" data-end=\"2931\">Ashwagandha &amp; Rhodiola<\/strong> \u2013 Both ingredients have an adaptogenic effect and regulate stress by lowering cortisol and adrenaline and increasing serotonin.

In addition, the mushrooms will provide energy and resistance so that the body also gets strength to recharge for new stress and restless situations.  <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3027\" data-end=\"3151\">\n<p data-start=\"3653\" data-end=\"3675\"><strong data-start=\"3678\" data-end=\"3710\">Flower Essence Fireworks support<\/strong> \u2013 The flower combination provides emotional balance, provides grounding, peace, courage, protection and reduces stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3027\" data-end=\"3151\"><strong data-start=\"3761\" data-end=\"3793\">Aromatherapy Fireworks support Spray<\/strong> \u2013 The essential oil combination for fireworks comes in a spray.

We also made the fireworks support in a pure oil for a diffuser, which also provides good support for several animals (dog and cat).   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3153\" data-end=\"3244\">These products work together to create a natural balance between rest, focus and relaxation.
