How can I help my dog relax during a thunderstorm?

Helping Your Dog Relax During a Thunderstorm

Thunderstorms can be very stressful for dogs due to the loud noises and bright flashes of lightning. To help your dog relax during a thunderstorm, you can create a safe space for them to retreat to. This could be a cozy corner with their favorite blanket or bed. You can also play calming music or white noise to drown out the sound of the storm. Additionally, consider using a Thundershirt or anxiety wrap to provide gentle pressure that can help calm your dog. It's important to remain calm yourself as dogs can pick up on your emotions. If your dog is extremely anxious, consult with your veterinarian about potential anti-anxiety medications or supplements. Remember to never punish your dog for being scared during a storm, as this can worsen their anxiety.
