New GSPCA Firework Calendar to help pet owners in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 10:36, 30th Oct, 2014 | 0

This week at the GSPCA we have launched a new calendar specifically to help pet owners and those affected by fireworks in Guernsey.

The calendar has been embedded in a number of our web pages and is dedicated to being a central location to check when there are firework displays in Guernsey.

Over the last few years when we have been made aware of firework events we have used our social media to help inform pet owners to help them prepare their animals and pets to reduce their stress and problems they can cause.

The GSPCA is currently planning to approach various Pet Shops throughout the Island to see if working together could better the welfare of the animals sold in Pet Shops and help with general concerns from the public.  The welfare of animals within Pet Shops has always been a concern at the GSPCA and so the opportunity to work along side a responsible Pet Shops is a fantastic opportunity.

Firework advice from the GSPCA

Submitted by GSPCA on 14:13, 28th May, 2012 | 0

Fireworks are exciting and pretty to look at and it is fun to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee with a bang, but for our animal friends this can be a nightmare. Many animals domestic and wild suffer needlessly every year due to fireworks.

The GSPCA would like to encourage everyone where possible to attend organised events as this time of year there are many of our wild animals and birds rearing young and we want to reduce their stress as much as possible.
