You will be able to manage your dog effectively if you are at home throughout these days. During storms allow him to stay where he is most comfortable.

Finally, ask your veterinarian to prescribe Sileo for your dog. This as-needed antianxiety gel is easy to place between the lower lip and gum. It can make a big difference in reducing anxiety and fear during noisy events like storms and fireworks.
