Does this situation sound familiar?

You wake up in the middle of the night to your pet panting, pacing, drooling, shaking, and climbing all over you. Or it’s midday and you find your pet whining and hiding in a dark corner. Then you look outside to see a storm rolling in.

Storm anxiety is a very common occurrence in many dogs and cats. The severity can range from hiding and mild panting to destruction of items in the home. As a caretaker, this can be devastating to see, and it can heavily impact the quality of life for both you and your pets.

While we can’t prevent the storms, the good news is that most cases of storm anxiety can be managed with a little planning, training, and help from your veterinarian. Tools such as your pet’s favorite comfort items, animal specific pressure wraps, and pheromones may be helpful in minor cases. For more significant storm anxiety, there are various supplement and medication options that can help take the edge off. It may take some trial and error with one or multiple tools, but the goal is for everyone to get through storms with as minimal stress as possible.

Pro-Tips:
Give your pet a safe space to ride out the storm. Animals will often seek out small dark spaces like closets, bathrooms, or under a bed. Look at where your pet prefers to be in the home and make it as comfortable as possible.
It’s OKAY to comfort your pet during a storm. You will not reinforce the fear when your pet seeks assurance. Petting and offering food may be a way to shift a scary event to a more positive one.
For medications or supplements, if a storm is expected at all that day, DON’T WAIT. Once your pet is triggered, it becomes much harder for the medications to help. Pre-emptive dosing is the key to success.

Miss your medication timing? We’ve got help for that too!

Especially for cases with less severe storm anxiety, training can go a long way. See the picture below for a simple exercise you can work on to minimize storm anxiety.
