Dogs and Fireworks Anxiety
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.
I’ve found your site on aol and I’m really glad read the information you provide in your posts. FYI your sites layout is misaligned using chrome
