(Sky above a few of our old barns)
Yesterday the weather started out with a nasty downpour. Although there wasn't any thunder, our youngest dog still had anxiety.
We've ordered him a Thundershirt, and it's on the way. It's a jacket that applies pressure to naturally calm the dog, when they have a fear of noises (thunder, fireworks etc.).
He wasn't born like this, he was out on a walk during a very bad storm, and it thundered loudly. Ever since then, he's been horrible afraid of the noise.
I'll update you on the progress of the jacket, as it is natural, and requires no pills. We first heard about it from the woman who sells homemade pet treats at the Farmer's Market.
The rain kept me from doing any outside work yesterday. However, by the afternoon, it cleared up. By that time, I was already deep in another project. Funny how that works some days.
I've heard of the Thundershirt FOR DOGS... and wished they made one for ME!
ReplyDeleteI hear they work really well.

I'll be anxious to see how the Thundershirt works for your dog, ours has "storm anxiety" too.
ReplyDeleteLove the storm clouds over the barn!! :)
I'd love to see how the thundershirt works out, our dog is scared of any loud noises, thunder and fire works included. We live at the foot of a glacier which often makes loud cracking sounds which also 'upset' my dog a lot!
