Does your dog tremble, hide, pant, or pace when storms or fireworks arrive? You're not alone—and your pet doesn't have to suffer through it.
There are several safe and effective anxiety medications available that can help reduce fear and panic during storms and fireworks. While some dogs may experience mild temporary sedation, a calm, comfortable dog is often much happier than one experiencing severe anxiety.
Remember: anxiety medications work best when given BEFORE the storm starts, usually at least an hour ahead of time.
If your pet struggles during thunderstorms or fireworks, give us a call. We're happy to discuss options that can help keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free.
