Nichol's Pet Warehouse manager Gareth Keenan fits Siberian husky-golden retriever Ben with a ThunderShirt in Dunedin. SPCA Otago business development manager Kirsty Thomson said SPCA Otago supported only public displays of fireworks and wanted a ban on their public sale. SPCA Otago called on pet owners to prepare for the ''uncertain and frightening time'' for animals. Pets often went missing after fireworks displays so pet owners should ensure their animals had a secure, safe, indoor space for the night. Nichol's Pet Warehouse manager Gareth Keenan said the Dunedin shop was selling ThunderShirts to reduce stress in dogs, including firework-related anxiety.
