Bonfire Night might be a highlight of the season for us – fireworks, sparklers and cosy fires – but for many dogs, it’s a stressful and overwhelming experience. Loud bangs, sudden flashes and strange smells can turn a fun evening into a night of anxiety for our four-legged friends.
At Buddylicious, we believe in supporting dogs with calm, comforting solutions that feel natural – not forced. That’s why we created our Chew & Chill Bundle: a trio of long-lasting, all-natural chews designed to help soothe, distract and settle your dog when the world outside gets noisy.
Why Firework Night Feels Scary to Dogs
Dogs experience the world differently – with super-sensitive hearing and a strong sense of routine. Sudden booms and flashes, paired with strange smells and the energy in the air, can trigger fear responses like:
• Pacing or panting
• Hiding or trying to escape
• Barking, whining or restlessness
• Shaking or clinging to you like Velcro
The good news? There are simple, natural ways to support them – starting with the calming power of chewing.
Chewing: More Than Just a Distraction
Chewing is one of the most natural ways for dogs to relieve stress. It releases endorphins (those feel-good hormones), helps burn off nervous energy and gives them something to focus on when the world outside gets a bit too loud.
The key is to offer safe, durable chews that keep them engaged without the risk of splinters or choking.
Meet the Buddylicious Calming Chew Trio
Our natural chews are free from nasties, full of texture and perfect for chewing away the jitters.
Olive Wood Chews
Hard-wearing and long-lasting, these chews are made from sustainably harvested olive trees. Infused with olive oil, they’re not only tough but also great for dental health.
Best for: Dogs who love to gnaw for hours.
Coffee Wood Chews
Dense and satisfying to chew, but less likely to splinter than regular sticks. Coffee wood is a natural stress-reliever and helps keep your dog’s mind focused.
Best for: Dogs who need a sturdy, safe alternative to chewing furniture.
Yak Cheese Bars
A protein-rich chew made using a Himalayan recipe. These are a bit softer than wood, making them perfect for smaller breeds or dogs who love a tasty reward while they chill.
Best for: Dogs who prefer a little flavour with their focus.
The Chew & Chill Bundle: Firework Night, Sorted
Can’t decide? Our Chew & Chill Bundle brings all three chews together in one calming collection – so you can see what your dog loves most or mix things up as the night goes on.
Keep the bundle on hand for:
• Pre-fireworks distraction
• Mid-boom anxiety relief
• Post-bang wind-down time
Pair with a cosy blanket, a favourite toy and a quiet space – and you’ve got yourself a firework night toolkit.
Buddylicious Firework Tip:
Create a “safe zone” in your home with familiar smells, soft lighting and your pup’s favourite chews. Let them choose when to hide, when to cuddle and when to gnaw it out.
Final Thoughts: Help Them Feel Safe, Naturally
You don’t need complicated routines or medication to help your dog feel calmer on Bonfire Night. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a quiet space, a steady presence – and a good chew.
