Dogs That Fear Thunder
- 05/10/2010
Does your dog become scared, anxious or generally stressed out when a thunderstorm hits?
Many dogs truly suffer in the fall and winter, when their sensitive ears pick up the occasional sound of thunder.
Some signs that your dog is stressed include trembling or shaking, excessive salivation, hiding, barking or squealing, looking about with wide "saucer" eyes, and many others.
Why consider this troubling behaviour when the weather is still warm, and the sun is shining? Because if your dog is one of those who suffer during thunderstorms, you can do something about it, but you must begin before the weather changes.
One approach that can work very well is gradual sound desensitization.
Basically, you expose your dog frequently to the sound of thunder

hi, just wondering if anyone has ever used 'rescue remedy' or 'skullcap & valerian' both herbal remedies to help dogs deal with loud noises?
Actually, Tincture of Valerian is a brilliant natural remedy and does help with dogs ... just don't give it to cats as they go mental on it (it acts like some kind of drug/alcohol on them).
