style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up to 74% of dogs show signs of fear in response to loud noises like fireworks, according to various studies. This extreme sensitivity is explained by their keen sense of hearing and smell: for them, a blast can be perceived as five times more intense than for a human, and they also detect gunpowder residue for hours. This natural response can intensify and evolve into a phobia if untreated, causing tachycardia, hyperventilation, or even physical and mental freezing from panic.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the most common symptoms are trembling, defensive postures such as tail between the legs and ears laid back, dilated pupils, excessive salivation, escape attempts, and intense vocalizations. In more severe cases, some animals may even involuntarily urinate or defecate due to extreme panic.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>How to anticipate your dog\u2019s fear during Sant Joan<\/b><\/h3><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is common for many families to wait until the last days to act, but this can limit therapeutic options and reduce their effectiveness.
