Fireworks are a popular part of celebrations, but while humans enjoy the dazzling displays, animals can suffer from the loud noises. In the United States and Italy, pets and other animals often experience heart problems, nausea, tremors, fear, and stress due to fireworks. Animals have more sensitive hearing, and the explosions can cause them “acoustic stress.”
