💨 Abstract

Fireworks on Guy Fawkes Night (5 November 2025) can distress pets, causing panic, aggression, and dangerous behavior. The SPCA warns that loud noises may lead pets to flee, risking injury or getting lost. To protect pets, ensure their tags and microchips are updated, and consider natural calming remedies. In Cape Town and Johannesburg, fireworks are restricted to permitted displays, with fines for violations. Report illegal fireworks to local authorities.
