Diwali pet and stray animal safety notice for your society
Every Diwali, societies see frightened pets slip out of gates, community dogs hiding under parked cars, and the occasional injury from a cracker thrown near an animal. Feeders and pet owners raise it with the committee every year. A short, calm notice before the festival (Diwali 2026 is Sunday, 8 November) sets a few simple rules and shows residents the committee has thought about it.
What the notice should cover
- Cracker zone and timings: crackers only in the designated open area and only during the permitted hours.
- No crackers near animals: never aimed at, tied to or thrown near dogs, cats or birds.
- Pet owners: keep pets indoors on the main evenings, with ID tags on, windows closed and a quiet room ready.
- Community animals: a quiet, sheltered spot away from the cracker zone, with water, agreed with the feeders.
- Before driving: check under parked vehicles, where frightened animals often hide.
- Help contact: the security desk and a nearby vet or animal helpline for an injured or lost animal.
The firecracker timing and safety notices for the same week are in the free Diwali notice generator.
