RNZ and SPCA hosting Guy Fawkes concert for pets

Rocket blasts and exploding fireworks are more terrifying cacophony than calming symphony for many animals. Guy Fawkes can be a hellscape for fur parents, whose pooches, cats or ponies are quaking in the corner or galloping about in a panicked state. In a radio first, RNZ Concert and the SPCA are hosting a special Guy Fawkes broadcast of music specifically selected to calm your pets - it's actually a thing and based on science. SPCA Scientific Officer Dr Alison Vaughan spoke to Lisa Owen.

Concert for Animals is on RNZ Concert from 6pm til midnight on Tuesday, 5 November.
