3 Ways to Calm Your Dog's Anxiety

   In Bentley’s world, the days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve go from Peace on Earth to OH NO!! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!!!
   I’m talking about fireworks. Those fun and beautiful pyrotechnics are absolutely terrifying to him. There is not a lot you can do about others celebrating with fireworks but there are a few things you can do to help your dog.
   We have used all these products with Bentley during thunderstorms and fireworks. His anxiety level can get pretty high and includes pacing, panting, trying to climb in our laps or bathtub. Over the years I have found using them together to be a winning combination.

   Dr. Harvey formulated this whole food supplement using a combination of wild-crafted and organic herbs. In addition to its calming effect, Relax provides essential vitamins and minerals that dogs need.
   These all-natural ingredients are gentle enough to use every day to help calm your dog without any harmful side effects. It is a powder that can be added into their food. All of Dr. Harvey’s products are made in the U.S.A. and are cruelty-free. As a fellow animal lover, I know that is important to you.

  2. Forgive the pun, but you do seem to have it all covered when it comes to all those horrid bangs pops and booms that humans like so very much. So nice to know that the consumables are really up to the mark production wise, too.

  3. Thankfully, New Years isn't as bad as the 4th of July here because it's freezing outside. I hate fireworks! Great ideas, guys!

  8. I wish more community leaders would consider using silent fireworks! I personally don't like the 'war' aspect of them, and I know that those suffering from PTSD find the noise to be unbearable. Silence is golden.

  9. We are big fans of Treatibles, they do a great job of settling him during car rides!

  10. Luckily new year's stays pretty quiet around here. But we deal with target shooting from our neighbors and things like that all the time. We've found some other things that help, but I think I will add that Relax to our arsenal for trying in the future.

  11. We will never understand the mentality of people who think firecrackers are cool. My dogs don't seem to mind as much as I do.

  12. Glad you found something to help. We are lucky it is too cold for most to do fireworks for New Year's.
