Everybody loves celebrating holidays such as New Year’s Eve or the Fourth of July. Fireworks are a tradition for these holidays and people love them. However, the same can’t be said about animals.
Fireworks can be dangerous for both humans and animals. While people enjoy fireworks, animals are terrified of the sound of fireworks when they go off. Every year, there are many animals run away, get injured or even die because of the stress that fireworks bring them.

Unfortunately, dogs don’t know that fireworks are. They suddenly see an explosion of bright lights and loud sounds in the sky. It’s pretty terrifying for them. The number of vet visits always increases around holidays when fireworks are common. Dogs usually hurt themselves when they are trying to escape or hide during the fireworks season. They risk getting lost or getting hit by a car.
However, one Italian town decided to change that. The local government of Collecchio implemented the law that requires fireworks to be fireworks for public events and for personal use. This is the first city in the world with such a policy. Now, Collecchio hopes that other cities will follow their example.
If this is the first time you read about silent fireworks, there is actually a company called Setti Fireworks that makes these silent fireworks and can be customized for different events. The main goal of this company is to reduce the stress that the explosion noises can cause to animals. Silent fireworks can be just as impressive as normal fireworks.
Such a great innovation. Even when pets are kept inside, they can still get scared and try to hide when they hear a firework explosion. It can be a pretty traumatic experience for them. Explosions can cause anxiety, stress, panic attacks, even heart problems for pets.
Silent fireworks are the perfect solution for everyone for pets. Now they can enjoy stress-free holidays. Hopefully, other towns and cities will start using silent fireworks as well.
