Is Your Dog Afraid of Fireworks?
It’s that time of the year again when my owners will be sitting outside on the deck watching all the fireworks that are set off around the lake. I am not afraid of fireworks like some dogs, I just bark at them and make sure that my owners are okay after..in fact, I do a lot of barking.
But I know some of my dog friends are very afraid of them. Maybe if it is hot where you are, you can close the windows and put on the air conditioning and play some classical music, it is supposed to be soothing to us dogs. I’m not promising it will work, but it might help depending upon how sensitive your dog is.
Another thing you can do is give a couple drops (amount depends upon the size of your dog) of a remedy that calms nerves, we have one around the house called Distress Remedy, please write to me at aspen[at]happynutritionist.com for a fact sheet about Distress Remedy, a floral homeopathic remedy, like the Bach flower remedies. We have it available for sale.
We want to wish you a happy 4th of July weekend!
Aspen, you are such a helpful little Yorkie – what a good idea to turn on the A/C and play music to cover the big bangs!
Pixel isn’t scared of the fireworks but she will bark up a storm in a few hours if she hears the explosions – we don’t know if we will here at our new home yet, it’s our first 4th here!
Happy 4th to you and your Mom!
Thanks for the latest news on Pixel…I barked too for a while, the fireworks are still going on but starting to quiet down. I only felt bad when everyone went to out on the deck and left me inside. But they remembered me and brought me outside so I could bark at the fireworks.
Happy 4th of July to you both!
