This time of year there are many things that can make your dog uneasy. Thunderstorms and fireworks are probably your two biggest concerns. These are situations where you should definitely keep your dog indoors as much as possible. Even with that, dogs hear very well, and at best these noises may only be muffled, and can still cause anxiety.
I have found a line of products that I really like by Vet's Best. This one is called Comfort Calm. You can use it in dogs 10 months or older. It contains Valerian Root...a great calming herb. A couple of the inactive ingredients are brewer's yeast...a really great natural supplement and liver from pork....so it's a taste that will be appealing to your dog. Administer about an hour ahead, a small dog (under 25 pounds) only needing one tablet. And you can repeat it in 6-8 hours if needed. If your dogs are really small, like mine, a 1/2 tablet will do (the chewable tablet is scored). The price is very reasonable. A 30 tablet jar is around $8.
The next time you need to help reduce your dog's stress and tension from travel, loud noises and big events, be ready with a natural, herbal product, and know you are giving your dog the best!
