New Year’s Eve can be a fun night for people, but for many dogs it’s one of the most challenging nights of the year. Between fireworks, guests coming and going, and changes to routine, it’s common for dogs to feel anxious or overstimulated.
For families in Baltimore County and Harford County, planning ahead for your dog’s care can make the evening safer and less stressful—for everyone.
A Different Experience Than Staying Home During the Noise
When dogs stay home during New Year’s Eve celebrations, they’re often exposed to things that can increase stress or create safety concerns. Open doors, unfamiliar guests, party food, and loud noises can lead to dogs getting into unsafe snacks, becoming overwhelmed, or attempting to escape.
Boarding in a structured, supervised environment removes many of those risks and allows dogs to settle into a predictable routine while their families are away.
Play, Enrichment, and Structure During the Day
During their stay, dogs at Best Friends Fur Ever participate in appropriate play, enrichment, and rest, based on their individual needs. Some dogs enjoy social interaction and activity, while others benefit from a calmer pace. Our team monitors each dog closely to make sure they’re comfortable and thriving throughout their stay.
A Location That’s Quieter on Fireworks Nights
Our resorts are not located near heavy fireworks activity, which can be especially helpful for dogs sensitive to loud or sudden noises. A quieter environment allows dogs to relax more easily during an otherwise noisy holiday.
Extra Comfort at Bedtime
As the evening winds down, we focus on helping dogs settle. Calming sprays, warm blankets, and a soothing bedtime routine are available for dogs who benefit from extra comfort. Families can also ask about our Holiday Plus Turn Down Service, which adds an extra layer of calm to bedtime on busy nights like New Year’s Eve.
Staying Connected While You Celebrate
Even while you’re away, it’s reassuring to know how your dog is doing. We share photos and pup-dates so families can check in and see their dogs relaxed, comfortable, and cared for during their stay.
Planning Ahead for a Calmer New Year’s Eve
Whether you’re hosting guests, attending a celebration, or simply want a quieter option for your dog during fireworks season, planning boarding ahead of time can reduce stress and safety concerns.
