Keep Your Pets Calm This Diwali: Stress-Free Tips & Homeopathic Solutions

Updated: Oct 23

Diwali is a festival of love, joy, and prosperity. However, for many animals, it can be a time of fear and trauma. The noise, light, and pollution from firecrackers cause distress to thousands of pets and stray animals across India. Loud crackers affect not just their hearing but also their heart rate and stress levels. While people also face noise and air pollution, animals cannot escape its impact.


Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe and Calm This Diwali


  1. Create a Safe Space

    Keep your pets in a cozy, quiet room with windows and doors closed. You can even place cotton balls in their ears to help reduce noise.


  2. Avoid Fire Hazards

    Keep candles and diyas away from curious pets to prevent accidents. Safety first!


  3. Exercise Early

    Take your pets for a walk or run before evening. This helps them feel calm and relaxed when the festivities begin.


  4. Observe Behavior

    Every pet has its own comfort zone. Watch their body language and let them adjust at their own pace.


  5. Use Calming Music

    Soothing background sounds can ease their stress. Try playing some gentle tunes to create a peaceful atmosphere.


Pets often show fear through shaking, hiding, excessive barking, loss of appetite, or unusual aggression. Did you know that dogs can hear between 40–60 kHz? This is far higher than humans, making them extremely sensitive to the noise of firecrackers.



We must raise awareness that animals feel emotions too. It’s essential to teach children compassion for animals. Avoid tying crackers to them or bursting them nearby. Communities should consider restricting firecracker use, designating safe areas and times to minimize harm. Diwali can be celebrated peacefully with rangoli, flowers, lights, music, and togetherness — all without causing distress to our furry friends.
