funnyletter,

My parents’ dog is terrified of fireworks and the only thing that helps him is a xanax prescription from his vet.

It’s my puppy’s first 4th of July so I made sure he had a busy, fulfilling day and I’m getting lots of enrichment activities ready for him to put out when the sun goes down. We’ve got the windows closed and I’m going to put on music for him. When there are fireworks he and I are going to hang out and play BoomCookie – he hears a boom, he gets a cookie. Hopefully he’ll decide it’s not that big of a deal. (But I don’t have high hopes because his breed are meant to be watch dogs and he’s an alert barker… 😬)

I’ve heard good things about thundershirts (weighted coats to make them feel cuddled) and happy hoodies (tube hat to cover their ears). My sister tried a thundershirt for her puppy that was afraid of thunder and it helped quite a bit.

NBCooks,

Great idea. I put our thunder shirt on teddy. We forgot we had one.
