Thunder, Lightning & Fireworks, Oh My!

Loud booms and flashes can be scary for our furry friends! Here are a few simple ways to help keep them calm:

1.  Create a cozy, quiet space with their favorite blanket or toy

2.  Calming chews – there are many available locally and on Amazon. This has worked well for my dog. They help calm her without knocking her out.

3. Use white noise or calming music to block out sudden sounds

4. Try a snug-fitting anxiety wrap or shirt – Thunder jackets can be highly effective!

5. Distract with a long-lasting treat or chew toy

6. Stay calm yourself — they take cues from you!

If you're heading out of town or need help keeping an eye on things at home, I’m happy to help with pet check-ins or home support. 💛

🐶🐱 Stay safe and give your pets an extra cuddle! I hope everyone has an amazing July 4th weekend!
