The Examiner has an article addressing the treatment of dogs that are fearful of the noises accompanying fireworks. It’s called, appropriately enough,: Does your dog dread July 4th?
The top tips are:
- “melatonin…the most likely non-pharmaceutical product to help” [though she does not mention dosages].
- “contact their vet and consider anti-anxiety medications to provide their dog with relief”
- “essential oils…used in any combination by direct contact to the pads of the feet or used in a diffuser…chamomile, lavender, geranium, marjoram, bergamot, frankincense, neroli, and sandalwood, vervain and valerian”
There are a number of other suggestions as well. I found this article too late to try this year. So, I can’t provide any reviews. Any comments, suggestions by the readers are welcome, as always.
