With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, PetCloud, Australia’s trusted pet management App and pet care network, is urging pet parents to update their pets’ ID tags and take proactive measures to ensure their fur kids are safe during the festivities.
Fireworks celebrations, while exciting for humans, are a leading cause of anxiety and escape attempts in pets, turning a joyful evening into a stressful experience for many families.
Fireworks and Pet Anxiety: A Growing Concern
For pets, the loud and unpredictable nature of fireworks can trigger extreme anxiety, leading to behaviours such as trembling, barking, hiding, or attempts to escape. In fact, animal shelters report a significant increase in lost pets around New Year’s Eve due to panicked animals fleeing their homes.
“We see reports of it across social media every year,” says PetCloud CEO Deb Webber, “Pets bolt out of fear, and without proper ID, they can become lost for days or even weeks. Updating your pet’s ID tag with current contact information is a simple yet effective step to improve the chances of a safe return.”
Tips to Prevent Pet Escapes on New Year’s Eve
PetCloud recommends these measures to keep pets safe and calm:
1. Update Pet ID Tags and Microchip Information:
2. Secure Your Home:
4. Hire a Pet Sitter:

Ensure tags are legible and include a current phone number. Confirm microchip details are registered and up-to-date.
2. Secure Your Home:
Close windows, screens, doors, and gates. Double-check fences for potential escape routes.
3. Create a Calm Environment:
Use white noise, calming music, or pheromone diffusers to reduce stress. Keep pets in a quiet room away from external noise.
4. Hire a Pet Sitter:
For pet parents who plan to celebrate away from home, consider booking your pet with a pet sitter who will stay at your home or board your pet at their home on New Year’s Eve.
