PET owners are being urged to extra care of their animals on bonfire night.
Each year, hundreds of pets are terrified by loud bangs and sudden flashes of light.
Pet insurer Pet Plan has compiled a list of precautions:
Ensure pets are kept away from all firework displays
Lock doors and windows
Make sure evening walks are over before it gets dark as most firework displays begin at dusk
If your pet is alone in the house, consider leaving a TV or radio on to keep them company
Rabbits and other small animals usually kept outside may be better off in the house for the night.
