Hi!!!
The other day, I was standing outside when I heard this loud BOOM!!! My reaction was wrong - I froze mid stride. I will not survive the Zombie Apocalypse.
Anyway, the loud noise was fireworks (which are illegal BTW), someone was driving up the road and tossing them out their car window. Lovely, right?
I have four dogs and while none of them are fans of fireworks, Rodrigo is a hot mess and the worst of the pack. I've been fortunate to be able to work through his fears through exercise, supplementation, and a loud movie.
- I add Ewegurt (a natural calming supplement made from raw sheep's milk) to Rodrigo's meals on the weekends and every day the two weeks leading up to and including the Fourth of July.
- During those two weeks, I take Rodrigo on a lot of walks; when he's tired, he's less anxious and sleeps well at night.
- On the day of the Fourth, we spend most of the day walking, playing, and just relaxing. My goal is to make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, but it also exposes them to regular fireworks and Rodrigo is able to see that the world isn't coming to an end (although it
- The evening of the Fourth of July, Rodrigo also gets CBD oil and a Monster Bully Stick.
Have you started to hear fireworks yet where you live? How will you help your dog get through these next 6 weeks?
If you live outside of the United States, do you have to deal with fireworks?
