Sure thing! Here are seven different ways you can help your pet deal with loud noises:

**Create a Safe Space**: Set up a cozy area in your home where your pet can retreat when they feel scared. Add their favorite blanket and toys to make it feel secure.

**Desensitization**: Gradually expose your pet to the sound at a low volume. Start with recordings of the noise and slowly increase the volume over time as they get more comfortable.

**Use Calming Products**: Consider using calming sprays, diffusers, or even anxiety wraps designed for pets. They can help soothe your furry friend during stressful times.

**Distraction Techniques**: When you know a loud noise is coming (like fireworks), distract your pet with their favorite toys or treats. Engaging their mind can help take the focus off the noise.

**Training and Commands**: Teach your pet commands like "sit" or "stay" in a calm environment. This can help them feel more secure and give them something to focus on when they’re scared.

**Stay Calm Yourself**: Pets can pick up on our emotions, so try to stay relaxed and calm when loud noises happen. Your vibe can really help them feel more at ease.
