New Year’s Eve means stress for many animals. The star asked veterinary doctor Franziska Kuhne: What to do if the dog flees under the sofa in panic at the first firecracker?
Ms. Kuhne, you research the human-animal relationship. This will be put to a tough test on New Year’s Eve. The person is celebrating, the dog is panting, shaking and would like to hide. Why?
For us, firecrackers and rockets are loud, dogs hear them five times louder. They have a much wider hearing range. You even hear ultrasound, which most of us don’t even notice.
