Celebrating festivals safely with your dog

Festivals are the highlights at the end of the year. These are enjoyable days, with lots of delicacies, fire crackers, socializing and decorations. But then, however much we may relish these festivals, our four-legged family members don't share our enthusiasm as much. If one may say so, sometimes these very festivals turn out to be near-nightmarish experiences for our pets. However with care, we just might be able to minimize their anxiety and trauma.
