Organised events are best!
Letting fireworks off in your garden could easily scare yours or your neighbour’s pets.
Going to an organised event, instead of having fireworks in your back garden is best for everyone!
People with pets know when these events are and can make sure their pets are feeling safe.
The fireworks at organised events are usually bigger and better than any you can buy in shops and much safer!
