Thunder, Lightening And Fireworks!
We just made it through one of the toughest months of the year. Our Yellow Lab is petrified of Thunder, Lightening and Fireworks. We have tried a gamut of things to help her.- Natural products to drugs. We know many dogs suffer from this problem, so we would like to share some of the things that have "helped" us. The problem still remains, but we have had some marginal success.
Prior to Haley getting upset, we put a few drops of PURE LAVENDER OIL around her collar. This keeps the oil close to her nose for a calming effect. Do not over due the oil, it can have the opposite effect if too much is used.
We purchased a THUNDERBAND (you can find it online) . It is a headband to go over her ears. We put the Thunderband on her, and blast a radio and put on a fan. This works pretty well during the Fireworks.
We also purchased THE STORM DEFENDER CAPE (you can find it online). This is a red cape with a metallic underside. It is suppose to take the "charge" out of her coat when an impending storm is on the way.
She likes to wear her cape and it seems to calm her down when we put it on her. This must be put on your dog AS SOON AS THEY SHOW ANY SIGN OF AGITATION OR FEAR. It could be early in the day when there is no sign of rain. A dog senses the storm by the electrical charge in the air. However, when the lightening and thunder begins, nothing seems to work too well.
We are always home with her during these times. It is a "family" problem. We do all we can to help her and keep her safe. She will dig and try to squeeze into small spaces. So being there for her safety, is extremely important.
We do PRAY allot!!
We hope some of these ideas and products will help you and your dog. It is an ongoing dilemma. We wish you and your pouch the best!
