Storm season is upon us, below are some great tips to help keep your pets relaxed before and during a storm.

⏰ Before the Storm Hits:
Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy spot where your pet feels secure (crate, bathroom, closet with blankets).

Burn Off Energy: Take them for a long walk or play session earlier in the day.

Have Comfort Items Ready: Favorite toys, blankets, and calming chews can help.

Try Calming Aids: Talk to your vet about anxiety wraps, calming treats, or pheromone sprays.

Background Noise: Play soothing music or turn on the TV to mask thunder sounds.

⛈️ During the Storm:
Stay Calm Yourself: Pets take emotional cues from you — act normal and reassuring.

Offer Distractions: Chew toys, puzzle feeders, or gentle training games can help shift their focus.

Use Gentle Pressure: ThunderShirts (or snug shirts) can provide comfort.

Give Them Choices: Let them choose where they feel safest — don’t force cuddles if they want to hide.
