🎆BANG! We can't cancel the 4th of July for our dogs, but here are some things we can do:

💥Have your dog wear 2 collars and tags with current phone numbers. One collar may come off!
💥Use 2 leashes or a double leash when taking your dog out. If your dog gets scared and slips one, you have a backup!
💥Verify microchip information is current!

💥Supplements and calming chews include melatonin chews, CBD treats and herbal remedies. Can be purchased at local retailers.
💥Contact your vet for prescription trazodone, gabapentin or Sileo (new!). Avoid acepromazine and benadryl.
*Medications and supplements may take 1-2 hours for full effect. Allow time.

Products that may be helpful include:
💥Thundershirt
💥Pheromone diffuser (DAP ir Adaptil)
💥Noise canceling earphones
💥Lickimats, West Paw Toppl or Kong filled with irresistible treats

💥Noise phobia training is successful! Contact Gold Paw Dog Training at 702-279-5300 or [email protected] for local training in Las Vegas or Zoom training if you are not in Las Vegas!

Additional tips:
💥Exercise your dog early in the day. Tired body will help calm the mind.
💥Feed your dog early enough to allow your dog to digest the food and go potty before fireworks begin. It's added stress to need to go potty and be terrified to step outside the door.
💥Have a cozy, small space for your dog to retreat and hide. If you did crate training successfully and removed the crate, consider bringing it back for your dog feels secure.
💥If company is coming, secure, lock or put a sign on the door of the room your dog will be comfortable in. This may help prevent accidental escape.
💥Play normal noises your dog is familiar with. Don't introduce something new during fireworks. 💥Pair your dog with a known dog that is comfortable with fireworks.

❤️‍🩹It's ok to comfort your dog. Noise phobia is real.

A veterinarian's voice during Covid 😢😭

"This weekend I euthanized twice as many pets as usual.

Owners cannot justify unexpected bills when they have no idea when their next paycheck is coming.

This weekend I rationed my anesthetic drugs, as they are being diverted to humans on ventilators. I carefully considered each pain injection knowing that opioids will be diverted next. I pulled a sewing needle out of a puppy's throat while wondering what I would have done to save her life without these medications.

This weekend I gave tragic news and terminal diagnoses over the phone, over and over again. To owners whose face I had never seen. To familys who sent their pet inside, unable to accompany them because of covid.

This weekend I wore reusable mask and cap into surgery to save a dogs life. My disposable caps and masks are being donated and diverted to our human counterparts.

She had severe heart disease and was unstable under anesthesia. She survived this surgery, she went home to her mom, in part due to the ventilator that kept her breathing steady. The same ventilator that is earmarked for donation to human hospitals if the need arises.

This weekend for the first time in my life, I euthanized pets without stroking their fur, rubbing their ears, or hugging their grieving owners. I stood 6 feet away, wearing a face mask, and giving my injections and condolences from afar. It broke my heart a little more every single time.

Your veterinarian isn't on the front line of this war, we are the rear defense. We are being called as volunteers in states where human medical professionals are overwhelmed. We are donating and rationing our medications. We are giving up our ventilators. And we know why. We know that our actions will save human lives, and we won't hesitate at doing what we have to. But don't for a second think that our hearts aren't breaking too. And as this virus spreads, it will get worse.

Please, Stay Home.

Your pet can't catch covid, but it can hurt them nonetheless."
