Dog owners have been urged to keep their pooches safe and indoors this Halloween as research shows it can take some dogs several weeks to recover from firework exposure.

With Halloween fast approaching, Dogs Trust has issued advice to help dog owners keep their pets safe at what is often the most stressful time of the year for pets.
