**⛈️ Thunderstorms Can Be Scary for Dogs ⛈️**
With thunderstorm season here, many pets experience anxiety from loud thunder, lightning, heavy rain, and other sudden noises. Signs of fear may include trembling, pacing, panting, hiding, whining, or destructive behavior.
If your dog struggles during storms, now is the time to prepare. Don't wait until the forecast calls for severe weather! We recommend contacting us ahead of time to discuss calming medications or other anxiety-management options that can help keep your pet comfortable and safe.
Tips for stormy days:
🐾 Provide a quiet, secure place to hide
🐾 Keep your pet indoors and safely contained
🐾 Use calming music or white noise to mask thunder
🐾 Make sure identification tags and microchip information are current
🐾 Pick up prescribed calming medications before storms are expected
If your pet becomes anxious during thunderstorms or other loud noises such as fireworks, give us a call. We're happy to help you find the best solution for your furry family member.
