Same here, and they don't just go for 15 to 30 minutes either, they go well into the nights (like past 10-11 pm or later), days before and days after. On the 4th they are still throwing them after midnight, of course well after midnight on New Years eve. I totally understand everyone wanting to see fireworks, I do too, but limit them to the evening of holiday and to a limited time frame. Like for a few hours, then stop. Respect others in your community who may be terrified of fireworks (and pets, my pups are really scared of them and have to give them calming meds) or those who may have ptsd or have small kids that need to sleep or whoever has to get up at the crack of dawn to go to work.
Some dogs escape their yards because they get so terrified, then get lost. My two dogs shake so bad and need meds to calm them down and even they don't work to totally calm them down. We have to blast the tv volume and they can still hear them.
Yes I know, but they are pretty expensive, I'd have to get the xl because both my pups are 100 lbs each. I just use their jackets that they were when it's cold or rainy outside.
You can train your dog to not be so scared. There are videos on this that explain better than I can. Dogs need a chance to safely see the fireworks, being held or leashed, with their owner.

They make thunder vests that help dogs

Why should anyone have to buy a special vest for their dog when idiots cannot control themselves?
